Democrats, on the other hand, are advocating for a more forceful response, holding a private discussion on AI in the House on Tuesday.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is organizing a briefing with experts for his colleagues on Wednesday. Candidates running for the top office this year, like Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia, are demanding substantial action in Washington.
