Kristian Stout, director of innovation policy at the International Center for Law & Economics, said he’s encouraged by the fact that AI policy discussions aren’t as fiercely partisan as some other issues. Bipartisan-sponsored bills addressing specific AI issues like media rights and nonconsensual adult imagery are currently working through Congress, for instance. The so-called “AI Gang”—four senators who have positioned themselves as leaders of the legislative push—are two Democrats and two Republicans.
