Bills would cover data-center power costs, AI testing and liability for harm caused by AI products. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, seeking to chair the House Science Committee, said Democrats would pursue responsible regulation while fostering innovation. They also plan tougher oversight of OpenAI and Anthropic. Passage looks difficult while President Donald Trump, who has dismissed calls for mandatory AI rules, remains in office.
