Rep. Chip Roy Says Congress Should Oversee AI, Not Regulate It
Texas Republican backs congressional hearings on artificial intelligence but stops short of endorsing new regulatory measures
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said Congress should play an oversight role when it comes to artificial intelligence, but stopped short of calling for new regulations on the technology, according to CNBC.
In an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Roy said he supports congressional hearings on AI, according to the network. He did not, however, express support for additional regulatory measures targeting the fast-growing sector.
The comments come as lawmakers in Washington continue to debate how much oversight the federal government should exercise over artificial intelligence companies and their products, a subject that has drawn increasing attention from both parties as the technology becomes more widely used across the economy.
CNBC's report did not detail further specifics of Roy's remarks on the network's broadcast.
