Per Transformer, Rep. Nathaniel Moran is hiring an AI fellow for his personal staff — apparently the only House staffer recruited directly by a member to focus exclusively on AI. Moran, who introduced the AI Incident Reporting Act requiring frontier labs to report dangerous capabilities and security breaches, says he's reviewing a bill floated by Democratic Reps. Jacobs and Beyer at The Curve that integrates his Kill Switch and AI Incident Reporting Acts.
