Miles Brundage opposes federal AI bill that paces frontier capabilities
Overview
Miles Brundage says a federal bill that paces frontier AI development is the wrong approach, citing rapid advances in AI capabilities, according to his October 16, 2026 post on X. He argues the bill should not lock in a federal ceiling weaker than the FRONTIER Act.
Brundage also says any preemption of state AI safety laws should come with a federal regime that can evolve over time. The report does not name the bill's sponsors or describe its provisions beyond the pacing approach.
