Ted Lieu, a member of Congress, urges the necessity of AI regulation.

Rep. Ted Lieu, a Democrat from California, has proposed a bill that would establish a new federal agency to regulate artificial intelligence (AI).

The bill, the "AI Innovation and Regulation Act," would create a new agency within the Department of Commerce to oversee the development and use of AI. The agency would be responsible for setting standards for the development and use of AI, and for enforcing those standards against companies and individuals who violate them.

Lieu said that the bill is necessary to ensure that AI is used in a responsible and ethical manner. AI has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives, but it also has the potential to be used for harmful purposes, such as surveillance, discrimination, and even warfare.

The bill would give the new agency the authority to:

• Set standards for the development and use of AI.
• Enforce those standards against companies and individuals who violate them.
• Conduct research on the impact of AI on society.
• Provide guidance to companies and individuals on the responsible use of AI.

The bill is still in its early stages, and it is unclear whether it will be passed into law. However, it is a significant step forward in the effort to regulate AI. As AI becomes more prevalent, it is increasingly important to ensure that it is used in a responsible and ethical manner.
