Briefings
In a 2026 interview, Sen. Adam Schiff criticized the Trump administration's voluntary AI safety pact signed by tech executives at the White House, calling it insufficient due to a lack of national security oversight. Schiff highlighted the administration's use of 'national security' as a justification for actions like storing ammunition in the triumphal arch and the ongoing conflict with Anthropic over autonomous weapons and surveillance. He noted that while tech leaders publicly demanded regulation, the administration refused to bind them, creating a 'jarring' contradiction. Schiff also discussed the legal implications of the Loper Bright v. Loper Bright case, which overturned the Chevron deference precedent, potentially causing new AI regulations to face immediate litigation. The conversation touched on potential impeachment over corruption, though Schiff focused primarily on regulatory gaps and legal precedents.
