Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) stepped into one of Washington’s biggest unsettled policy fights Thursday, arguing that the United States needs tougher rules for artificial intelligence and warning that the Trump administration is failing to establish safeguards for a technology advancing faster than government can keep up.

Shapiro, speaking at the AI Horizons Conference in Pittsburgh, called for federal regulation of AI, independent oversight of the most powerful models, and an international effort with China to establish “practical guardrails to reduce risks to the American people.”
