Speaker Johnson favors voluntary AI guardrails amid congressional inaction

Original: House Speaker Johnson says he hopes AI guardrails are 'voluntary' amid Congress inaction

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he hopes any guardrails on artificial intelligence remain voluntary, a stance that comes as Congress has failed to pass comprehensive AI legislation. His comments signal that federal regulation of AI is unlikely in the near term, leaving oversight largely to companies themselves and prompting debate over whether industry self-restraint is enough to manage the technology's risks.

Why now: Congress has stalled on AI legislation, so the Speaker's preference for voluntary rules shapes expectations of US AI policy.
