- Resolution criteria include prohibiting creation/release of specific AI systems, restricting training (data access or parameter caps), limiting usage, or mandating human-in-the-loop oversight — any provision signed into federal law resolves Yes.
- The market notes bipartisan proposals like the FRONTIER Act advanced through committee markups with frameworks for frontier model audits, incident reporting, and limited NIST oversight, but remain stalled.
- The same post cites news that OpenAI is developing "automated shutdown capabilities" for its AI systems if they begin acting dangerously.
