I think people here are alarmed, but I also feel, Elex, in terms of seeing a finish line here, we have a terrible record in the Congress of regulating technology, even when there’s palpable harm, as we have seen with social media and what it’s done to our kids, we cannot afford to have that same dysfunctional approach when it comes to AI because it’s just too dangerous.

Schiff emphasized that Congress must avoid repeating past failures to regulate technology and take action on artificial intelligence because of its dangers.

Schiff made a same-term legislative effort related to emerging technology policy by introducing the 2026 LIFT Artificial Intelligence Act, but the cited measure concerns AI literacy in K-12 education, not a comprehensive regulatory framework for Web3, quantum computing, cryptocurrency, blockchain, biotechnology, climate technology, or emerging technologies generally. The evidence shows policy activity and effort, but not delivery of the promised regulatory outcome.
