Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-09-21 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

As of 2026-09-21, the promised year-end 2026 window had not expired, and the verified evidence shows only that Kim called for Senate action and that the cited AI bills were introduced and referred to committees. There is no verified passage showing enactment or passage of the MATCH Act, BLADE Act, or child-protection AI legislation. The original verified commitment attributes the legislative push to Kim, so effort is credited, but delivery remains unresolved.
