Mike Johnson Hopes AI Guardrails Are ‘Voluntary’

“House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) who is joining a meeting of artificial intelligence officials in Washington later Tuesday, said that he favors ‘striking the right balance’ with the technology and hopes guardrails will be ‘voluntary,'” CNBC reports.

Said Johnson: “I hope it’s voluntary. We’ll find out what comes out of the meeting today. I think that that’s where they’re headed. I think they see the handwriting on the wall, and I think they want to ensure investors, you know, consumers, the American public, that they’re going to do this in a very safe way, and and that will, I think, put us in the right place.”
