The Excerpt · AI insiders warn of danger. Will Congress act? · 17 Sep 2026 podcast

And I think certainly forming over a lot of this summer as Americans' concerns about the advancement of AI have grown.

I think it is.

And it's when you have strange bedfellows in politics, that is usually a good sign, or at least a better sign that there could be some significant progress at some point on that kind of an issue.

I think we have seen time and again that when conservatives and progressives um kind of come to uh similar conclusions about a particular

issue that we can see some some significant uh progress on on a particular issue.

There is already a very notable bifurcation, I think, among uh Republican leaders in Congress and Democrats in Congress about what the path forward needs to look like with respect to regulating artificial intelligence.

But these are significant steps forward.

Um Bernie Sanders is going to be holding

And all senators bipartisan briefing about uh about artificial intelligence.

As you said, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer was calling for Trump administration officials the one who the ones who are primarily in charge or would be in charge of AI regulation to come to the Hill to talk to senators in a classified setting about uh what

What their frameworks are going to look like in light of some of these more new developments about concerns related to advanced AI.

And Speaker Mike Johnson said he was going to be sitting down potentially at the White House, he told reporters with the president to speak with some of those leaders about where their heads are kind of at about AI.

I also know there are a number of senators that have spoken.

Consistently to uh some of these people, like um Dario Amade, the uh the CEO of Anthropics, Sam Altman, uh, the head of OpenAI.

Actually, I think it was maybe two months ago, uh, at some point earlier this summer, I was getting off of an elevator in the Capitol building and and almost literally ran into um someone that I didn't

quite see the face of initially.

And then I saw that he had a large uh coterie of people around him and turned around and wondered this person must be important.

It was Sam Altman.

So he uh has been on the hill not infrequently even before all of this stuff was happening, uh, meeting with lawmakers who uh have have significant concerns um and and want to be involved with the regulation.

of this emerging technology.
