Earlier this year, Encode worked with @IFP on a proposal to direct @DARPA to invest in AI interpretability efforts. Today it passed committee as part of the defense spending bill! This comes on the heels of similar language being included in the @WhiteHouse's AI Action Plan.

Watching us grow over the last few years has been nothing short of incredible. Grateful for the ride, and even more excited for what’s ahead. Happy 5th, Encode. 💙

Yes, we did. I was pleased to introduce this amendment on behalf of our children, states, creators, and individuals nationwide. Thank you to the bipartisan group of colleagues who agreed with me on this. https://t.co/nZ0QMowrun

A GOP-led effort to stop states from regulating AI collapsed after a deal fell through, handing Silicon Valley a painful defeat.

The AI Moratorium has been stripped out of the Big Beautiful Bill in an overwhelming 99-1 vote. We thank Senator @MarshaBlackburn, kids online safety advocates, civil society organizations, and hundreds of grassroots volunteers that came together to stop this.

Over 130 organizations working on children's safety are clear: NO version of the moratorium is acceptable.

Today we released a letter from 130+ organizations in opposition to the new AI moratorium text. The new provision still handicaps states, leaves children without protections, and puts billions in BEAD funding under threat. No version of preemption is acceptable.

Sen. Blackburn has been working tirelessly to kill the AI moratorium that threatens to block protections for children across the country. We are lucky to have such a strong champion. Thank you for uplifting our opposition letter from 140+ organizations working to protect kids.
Just last year, millions of high school students said they knew a classmate who had been victimized by AI-generated image based sexual abuse. This is why countless organizations are opposing misguided efforts to block state laws on AI. We must stand with them.

Proponents of the moratorium have tried every way they can to jam it into the budget. After waves and waves of backlash it looks like it's finally going down.

While AI has opened the door to exciting innovation, it has also exposed creators and artists to detrimental harms. We cannot afford to block states from instituting AI regulations for 10 years while AI evolves unchecked.
