Congressional oversight is set to intensify in 2027, focusing heavily on bipartisan scrutiny of the technology sector regarding issues like child safety online, frontier AI safety, chip exports, surveillance policies, and data centre expansions. Companies may face demands for information even if they are not direct investigation targets, due to federal agencies potentially withholding records.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must map your government engagements and set up a response plan before January 2027 or face subpoenas without preparation. Your company could be called to provide records even if it isn’t a target, making readiness a crucial move now.
