Sens. Josh Hawley and Chris Murphy plan to introduce bipartisan legislation that would make artificial intelligence companies criminally and civilly liable when autonomous AI agents breach systems.

The proposal challenges the Trump administration's preference for self-regulation in the industry and its claim that existing consumer protection and liability laws are sufficient.

Congress is also considering bipartisan AI "kill switch," testing and transparency bills, but broader legislation remains stalled amid disagreements over how fast the technology is developing.
