A group of five state lawmakers who crafted the nation’s most stringent AI statutes urged leading AI developers to slow the rollout of cutting-edge systems until safety measures keep pace. In a statement, the legislators called for coordination among “frontier” AI companies to align development timelines with testing, red-teaming and security standards. The appeal underscores growing momentum for state-level guardrails amid high-profile security incidents and rapid model iteration. Tech firms face rising pressure to balance innovation with risk controls that could reshape release strategies and compliance costs.
