On Polymarket, the odds of the US enacting a federal AI safety bill before 2027 sit at just 14%, with $124K volume. Resolution criteria include bans on specific AI systems, training limits, usage restrictions, or human-in-the-loop requirements. Context: bipartisan Senate negotiations are intensifying, with Cruz, Klobuchar and Thune advancing drafts on model-harm liability, while Bernie Sanders said AI's danger is 'probably greater' than nuclear weapons.
