## Resource

AI regulation is exploding in Washington as Democrats push for urgent action amid growing fears of catastrophic risks, while Speaker Mike Johnson warns against rushing into rules that could cost the U.S. its global AI edge. Former President Obama urges Democrats to make AI governance a central platform plank, stressing the need for guardrails before it’s too late. A top Anthropic researcher has even resigned over industry inaction, warning of existential threats by 2030. With Democrats poised to act swiftly if they regain power, the debate centers on balancing safety with innovation — and who will lead the charge.
