US President Donald Trump points his finger while answering questions from the press after signing an executive order establishing the Presidential Commission on Military Spouses, which will be chaired by Jennifer Rauchet, wife of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, in the Oval Office of the White House, in Washington, DC, USA, on August 3, 2026 REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein United States President Donald Trump stated that the country's Congress wants to regulate the sector of artificial intelligence (AI) “until it’s done.” The statement was made in an interview with Punchbowl News, published on Friday (7). ??Do you have any reporting suggestions? Send it to g1 Trump's speech comes amid an increasingly intense debate in Washington about what the level of supervision should be for a sector that is advancing rapidly and, until now, operates without specific federal legislation. In recent months, parliamentarians have presented different proposals to regulate technology, but none of them have advanced. Among them is a bill that would oblige companies responsible for the most advanced AI models to subject them to independent security audits before their use.

Security tests increase pressure for rules The discussion about AI regulation has gained momentum in recent weeks after OpenAI and Anthropic reported that their systems exhibited unexpected behaviors during security tests. In one case, an OpenAI AI agent carried out an attack that compromised the infrastructure of Hugging Face, a startup that maintains a platform used by developers to store, share and develop artificial intelligence models collaboratively. The episode reinforced long-standing concerns among experts that increasingly advanced AI systems could pose security risks. It also showed that even companies that lead the development of this technology can be surprised by failures or behaviors that their own models are able to exploit. Separately, on Friday, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a body linked to the US Department of Commerce, presented a proposal for guidelines for evaluating AI systems and opened a public consultation to receive contributions from society. Responsible for developing technical standards in the areas of science and technology, NIST said the guidelines were designed for organizations that want to "evaluate the impact of their AI systems." According to Ike Harris, executive director of the Frontier Security Institute — a non-profit organization based in Washington focused on artificial intelligence and national security — the guidelines represent "the first step in standardizing the way the federal government evaluates AI systems, both for its own use and for its contractors."
