House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries tells lawmakers they need to act urgently on artificial intelligence, arguing that Congress should begin moving to address AI-related challenges. Speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” Jeffries says the issue should be treated as a near-term priority.
Jeffries frames AI safeguards as a legislative need, with congressional action described as a high priority for his caucus. The Hill similarly reports that he calls for immediate action on regulating AI safeguards, echoing his “act urgently” message on the Sunday interview. The outlets focus on the urgency and the expectation of prompt congressional engagement, rather than detailing specific legislative proposals or timelines.
