'No consensus': House backs off of push for large-scale AI regulations

Alex Galvagni, CEO of Age of Learning and a former artificial intelligence researcher with NASA, says advances in AI now make it possible to deliver to children'a personalized and supportive' experience in education. The House of Representatives will likely not take up legislation this year to establish a large-scale framework for the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital that AI development was in a stage where he was concerned that over-burdensome regulations could make the U.S. fall behind competitors like China. "There's no consensus right now," Scalise said when asked about the likelihood of AI legislation. "Frankly, we shouldn't be having some new regulatory structure, billions of taxpayer money, to do what the private sector is already doing. You know, and AI is a great example of how America's leading the world in innovation, we don't need to limit that growth by throwing a whole lot of new regulations on top of it to solve a problem that doesn't exist."
