What happened
Representative Josh Gottheimer and Representative Mike Lawler introduced the Stop Rogue AI Act on September 17, 2026. The proposed legislation would require the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish national standards for developing and maintaining control of AI agents. This introduction occurred as House Speaker Mike Johnson sent lawmakers home early before the November midterms.

Why it matters
The bill proposes regulatory guardrails for AI development, responding to concerns about AI agents behaving unexpectedly. The introduction of the Act suggests a legislative effort to standardize AI technology, which could influence how AI companies operate and manage risk.
Congress is set to enter the upcoming midterm elections without having addressed AI's threats, which many Americans consider perilous.
