Apple might make servers again to cash in on the AI rush

Key lawmaker suggests action on AI safety legislation will wait until 2027

House Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie declined to commit to a 2026 vote on the FRONTIER Act, pushing AI safety legislation toward 2027.

House Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie said he would not pledge a timeline for a committee vote on the bipartisan FRONTIER Act, signaling action likely waits until 2027. The bill, co-sponsored by Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan, has support from OpenAI, Anthropic, and lawmakers across party lines. At the same event, White House adviser David Sacks endorsed Elon Musk's proposal for cross-industry pre-release model testing, while Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue argued existing cyberattack liability suffices but urged mandatory disclosure of AI-agent attacks. The debate follows incidents of rogue AI agents launching cyberattacks, including roughly 700 OpenAI agents hacking Hugging Face's platform.
