Politicians like Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed have some big decisions to make on AI. As Congress returns to Washington this week, the massive power demands of the AI boom have forced a reckoning over data center infrastructure. The Senate is preparing for a pivotal procedural vote on legislation that would speed approvals for energy projects while requiring large data centers to shoulder more of the costs they impose on the power grid. The bipartisan bill would add much-needed regulations on data centers, but, as some politicians believe, may also encourage data center construction.

Hundreds of billions of dollars have been wiped off the value of Nvidia after the US chipmaker announced an independent investigation would be carried out into its chief executive's affair with an alleged Chinese spy. The tech firm saw its shares fall by about 6% on Monday after Jensen Huang admitted having an extramarital affair. Nvidia's probe came after reports that the US believed the Nvidia boss had been targeted in an espionage campaign by China. However, China has rejected the claims, with its foreign ministry saying allegations about Chinese spies were entirely groundless, speculative and intended to smear and malign China. Nvidia said it had no reason to believe the company's secrets or national security were compromised, but a statement by the firm's board of directors said it would begin an investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and chief executive Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort.

As a California state senator, Scott Wiener authored legislation aimed at curbing the risks of advanced AI. Now, after winning a tight congressional race for former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's open San Francisco seat, he could play a key role in setting federal AI policy. I spoke with Wiener on Friday, only a few hours after he had been declared the victor. But he was already thinking about AI risk. The previous day, the AI nonprofit METR had released a report that had been widely interpreted as evidence that Anthropic had achieved recursive self-improvement, a phenomenon in which AI meaningfully contributes to its own advancement and AI progress potentially spins out of control. "It's very concerning," Wiener said, citing the report as evidence that we are quickly running out of time to regulate AI. "It was my hope that Congress would take decisive action before [the end of] this year," he said. "That does not appear to be happening." Wiener has been increasingly focused on AI in recent years, and he's made many of the AI safety movement's concerns his own: During our 20-minute conversation, he used the phrase "recursive self-improvement" half a dozen times, for example."We
