House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday expressed restraint around the idea of artificial intelligence (AI) regulation in the wake of tech leaders pushing for a slowdown in the development.
“If Congress just races in and does some sort of emergency session to try to regulate AI, we will lose the race to China, and that is a threat to every single American. So, we've got to have balance. We've got to have steady hands at the wheel,” Johnson told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) pushed for more artificial intelligence regulation in the wake of tech leaders pressing for slowing down the technology's development.
“This isn't previous tech. Previous tech could not make a decision to kill us, right? When we turned on the internet, it did not have autonomy, right?” Gallego told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” “When we created a nuclear weapon, the nuclear weapon did not have the decision-making power to drop a nuclear weapon. AI has the capability and will have the capability to make a decision like that.”

Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, on Sunday played down President Trump’s threat to begin a trade war if the Federal Reserve doesn’t drop interest rates.
“I don’t expect the trade’s going to go to zero, but I do think that the president has a very strong opinion that interest rates could be a lot lower. And we’ll just have to wait and see what the Fed decides,” Hassett told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
