Where it stands
AI Summary
The Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of Energy to establish an Advanced Artificial Intelligence Evaluation Program within 90 days. All developers of "advanced" AI systems must participate, providing code, training data, model weights and other details, and may not deploy the systems until they comply. The bill aims to give Congress empirical data on AI risks, from loss‑of‑control incidents to potential superintelligence, and imposes steep daily penalties for violations.
AI Prediction
A Republican sponsor with only two co‑sponsors and no bipartisan backing makes it unlikely to gain traction in the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, where AI regulation faces mixed partisan views.
