NewzSenate Majority Leader John Thune outlined a vision for congressional action on artificial intelligence, advocating for a "light touch" approach despite acknowledging the technology's "consequential risks."
Thune asserted Congress's constitutional prerogative to legislate on the emerging technology after returning from a five-week legislative break.
