New Cosponsor Added for S 2938 – AI Risk Evaluation

Earlier this week, Sen Blackburn (R,TN) was added as a cosponsor to S 2938, the Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act of 2025. She is a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, to which this bill was assigned for consideration. Since Backburn is a subcommittee chair, there may now be sufficient influence to see the bill considered in Committee. Still AI industry’s opposition to the provisions of the bill may stop the bill from moving forward.

The bill would require DOE to establish an Advanced Artificial Intelligence Evaluation Program, and each year submit to Congress a detailed recommendation for Federal oversight of advanced artificial intelligence systems. No new funding is provided in the bill.
