What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A congressional committee wrote to Governor Matt Meyer asking Delaware to provide details regarding its proposal for an AI-run corporation (AIC). The committee, led by James Comer, expressed concern that the AIC proposal might shield powerful AI companies and their investors from responsibility for reckless harmful actions. Delaware's AIC legislation allows approved entities to participate in a regulatory sandbox and permits AICs to sue and be sued in their own name.
