Tech CEOs Call For AI Regulation

September 15, 2026 4:53 am

WASHINGTON (AP) — The technology industry is urgently warning about the potential harm of artificial intelligence, but political inaction in Washington poses a challenge. President Donald Trump leads opposition to calls for greater oversight, dismissing them as a “conspiracy” on Monday. Democrats are pushing for a stronger response, with private discussions and briefings planned this week. The divide highlights a disconnect between tech warnings and government action. Some bipartisan efforts exist, but progress is slow. With elections approaching, swift legislative action seems unlikely. The debate underscores Washington’s struggle to address significant issues amid partisanship and election pressures.
