Powerful artificial intelligence is being built faster than the rules meant to govern it. Today, many safety commitments are voluntary, and the companies racing to release more capable systems are the ones deciding how much risk is acceptable. We do not let nuclear plants or medical labs police themselves, and we should not accept that for technology that could reshape work, security, and daily life. Safety promises that no one can enforce are not safety. People deserve independent testing before the most capable systems are released, clear accountability when they cause harm, and real penalties for companies that cut corners. Waiting for a disaster before acting means acting too late. Congress has the power to set these rules now, with oversight that does not depend on any company's goodwill. Pass enforceable federal safety requirements for the most advanced AI systems.
