Speaker Johnson hopes AI guardrails stay voluntary as Congress stalls

Original: House Speaker Johnson says he hopes AI guardrails are 'voluntary' amid Congress inaction

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he hopes any safeguards on artificial intelligence remain voluntary, a stance that underlines Congress's failure to pass binding AI regulation. His comments draw criticism from those who fear corporate self-regulation leaves consumers unprotected, while tech-friendly lawmakers welcome a hands-off approach as the debate over federal AI rules remains stalled on Capitol Hill.

Why now: Congress is struggling to pass AI legislation, and the Speaker's preference for voluntary measures signals the likely direction of federal policy.
