Semafor reports Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said bipartisan negotiations on AI safety have stalled and the committee will not take action before the election. Klobuchar said she is still consulting with Republican senators and hopes to pass strong AI safety safeguards by year-end, but it remains unclear whether a bipartisan bill can be produced before the election. Cruz said passage is possible but no decision has been made.
