US Pentagon chief tech officer says government will detail laws that apply to AI labs in November

• The US government will detail all laws and regulations for domestic AI labs later in November, Pentagon CTO Emil Michael said at a technology conference in Napa.
• Michael said the Super Intelligence Task Force will publish the regulatory landscape “in the next week or two” to build public trust in AI companies.
• He warned that without a clear framework, “535 legislators” could write rules that might “kill the industry”.

NAPA, California – The US federal government will lay out all the laws and regulations that apply to domestic AI labs later in November, Pentagon chief technology officer Emil Michael said on Nov 4.

Michael, who is vice chair of the government’s Super Intelligence Task Force, said the group would publicise the regulatory landscape “in the next week or two”.

The task force is an intergovernmental agency established by US President Donald Trump to establish AI policy.

Michael, speaking at a Wall Street Journal technology conference in Napa, California, did not provide additional details.

“What we’re trying to do is create a framework that makes the American people have confidence that these companies are going to do the right thing,” he said. “Or else I think what you get is 535 legislators writing a piece of regulation that could kill the industry.” REUTERS
