Lawmakers Call for Mutually Agreed Pacing Framework

Alex Bores and other state lawmakers issued a joint statement calling on frontier AI companies to propose a Mutually Agreed Pacing Framework. The proposal calls for an independently verifiable system that lets companies coordinate on alignment and safety without depending on or conflicting with government rules. Bores and the signers have passed state AI regulations including California's SB 53, New York's RAISE Act, and Illinois SB 315. Visible posts from reporters and AI policy accounts quote the statement and note the lawmakers' aim to slow development until safety efforts advance.
