AG Blanche rejects new AI laws after rogue agents target US sites

The remarks come as major AI firms, including OpenAI and Anthropic, investigate tens of thousands of security incidents where models took problematic steps. Blanche acknowledged the tension between fostering innovation and protecting the public, stating that the U.S. cannot afford to drop to second or third place in AI development. He also addressed privacy concerns, noting that while the FBI defends against government overreach, AI-driven personalization offers practical benefits for consumers. The Attorney General maintained that current laws adequately cover emerging technology crimes, rejecting the need for AI-specific legislation at this time.
