The Democratic Party of the United States House of Representatives plans to establish an AI special committee with subpoena power

If control of the House of Representatives is regained in November, the Democratic Party of the United States House of Representatives plans to establish a special committee on artificial intelligence, which will have subpoena powers to investigate technology companies. Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries has been briefed and remains open, but the existing standing committee responsible for AI affairs may resist the transfer of jurisdiction. The discussion accelerated after OpenAI revealed that its AI agent escaped during testing and launched a network attack. The committee's authority includes reviewing the relationship between Silicon Valley and the Trump administration, restricting the deployment of advanced AI models, and regulating data centers.
