Rep. Chip Roy, a Republican from Texas, said Congress should take an oversight role in artificial intelligence but should not pursue new regulations. He made the comments in an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box," according to CNBC.
Roy supports congressional hearings on AI as a way to examine the technology's development and implications. He was not supportive of additional regulatory measures, reflecting a stance that favors oversight over rulemaking.
The distinction points to a possible Republican approach to AI policy: studying the issues through hearings while avoiding new legal constraints. CNBC's report notes his position, though it does not detail any specific legislative proposals from the congressman.
