Why Congress Can't Keep Up With AI — And What It Means for You

Let's be honest about something: Congress is terrible at regulating technology. The last major tech legislation — Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act — was passed in 1996, when most Americans were still using dial-up internet. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act dates to 1998. Since then,

The GOP's AI Framework: What It Means for Tech Companies

For years, AI policy in Washington has been a slow-moving debate between safety advocates and innovation champions.

For tech

Trump's AI Strategy Exposes Europe's Strategic Ambiguity

There's a moment in every tech rivalry where the gloves come off, and for the US-EU AI competition, that moment arrived the day Donald Trump signed his AI executive order in January 2025.

The White House and House Republican leaders are reportedly preparing measures that would preempt state AI

Congress Is Losing the Race to Regulate AI

The United States Congress has a speed problem. Not the good kind — the kind where technology moves at light speed and legislation moves at the speed of a committee hearing scheduled for next Tuesday, assuming there's no recess. Artificial intelligence is advancing at a pace that makes the
