FRONTIER Act still leaves risky-model release decisions to developers
StephenLCasper · x · 2026-07-25
The post shares a statement arguing that the FRONTIER Act is an improvement over last month’s draft, but still has three major problems:
- It preempts state laws without a sunset.
- It offers no immediate replacement for the laws it would preempt.
- It leaves the decision to release risky models largely to developers.
The linked statement asks for further changes to the bill.
