US senators have put forward two bipartisan bills aimed at regulating artificial intelligence (AI) usage and ensuring the country's competitiveness in emerging technology. The first bill focuses on transparency, requiring the government to disclose its use of AI when interacting with the public and mandating human oversight in critical decision-making.

The second bill proposes the establishment of an office to monitor the US's competitiveness in emerging technology sectors. The move comes amid global efforts to regulate AI technology, with the UK Labour Party spokesperson calling for AI to be regulated like medicine or nuclear power.
