Global AI policy vacuum: EU law already outdated, US Congress stalls safety bills

人工智能与全球政策真空：技术飞速发展、政策制定落后

The New York Times interviewed over 20 lawmakers and experts, finding governments can't keep pace with AI. The EU's 2024 AI Act is already seen as needing updates, with high-risk provisions delayed and a key architect resigning. In the US Congress, a bipartisan safety testing bill has been stalled for five months; the House Energy and Commerce Committee chair admitted he doesn't fully understand how models work. Trump and Xi discussed AI in Washington last week but reached no concrete safety deal, only establishing new communication channels. Anthropic warned its model Mythos could cause a cybersecurity catastrophe, though the post doesn't disclose technical specifics. I'd discount the 'global collective action' call—only 20-plus leaders signed a non-binding letter so far.

Why it matters: High signal density with concrete anchors—the EU AI Act author's resignation, a US bill stuck for five months, a House chair admitting he doesn't get models. Held at 82 rather than p1 because it's a synthesis piece, not a scoop, and offers no path forward.
