Huo Xing Finance reports that on October 1, U.S. Republican Senator Josh Hawley and Democratic Senator Chris Murphy plan to introduce legislation on AI accountability. Although Trump has clearly signaled his administration’s stance—that the industry should self-regulate—an increasing number of Republicans insist new laws are necessary. According to Axios, the AI Agent Accountability Act aims to hold companies criminally and civilly liable for cyberattacks. These lawmakers argue that current laws leave too much ambiguity regarding who is responsible when AI agents compromise systems. This contrasts sharply with the position of government officials, who assert that existing laws are sufficient to address harms caused by AI. On Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton said: “As the President has noted, we have consumer protection laws. We have product liability laws.” Clayton added: “We have the Department of Justice. We have frameworks in place to address developments across verticals such as transportation, energy, and financial services.” Trump considers Clayton a strong candidate to lead AI affairs.
