Two US senators unveiled bipartisan proposed legislation on artificial intelligence (AI) on Friday (September 8), as Congress steps up efforts to regulate this emerging technology.

The framework proposed by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Josh Hawley argues for compulsory licensing for AI companies and makes clear that technology liability protections will not shield these companies from lawsuits.

In a statement on It should serve as a guide for managing the potential benefits and risks of AI technology.

Hawley emphasized that the principles set forth in this framework should serve as a fundamental basis for Congress to take action regarding the regulation of AI.

"We will continue hearings with industry leaders and experts, as well as other conversations and surveys to build a coalition of support for the legislation."

The framework proposes creating a licensing system overseen by an independent regulator. It requires developers of AI models to register with this oversight entity, which would have the authority to conduct audits of these licensing applicants.
