House Speaker Mike Johnson calls for meeting with AI leaders before legislation

House Speaker Mike Johnson is requesting meetings between AI leaders, Congress, and the White House to establish safety legislation following warnings about the end of humanity. While Johnson resists calls for a moratorium to ensure the US does not cede ground to China, his cautious approach may delay immediate safeguards. This strategy aims to develop more comprehensive, industry-informed policies by collaborating directly with top artificial intelligence leaders before finalizing any new laws regarding AI safety.
