Harris Outlines AI Policy Framework in Silicon Valley Address
The administration is pushing for tiered compliance rules that would shield small developers while holding frontier labs to stricter disclosure standards.
Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a new framework for U.S. AI governance in a speech at Stanford University, arguing that the country can “lead on innovation without abandoning safety.”
The proposal would create tiered compliance obligations based on model capability, with the heaviest requirements falling on a small number of frontier developers.
Industry reaction was mixed. OpenAI and Anthropic welcomed the predictability, while smaller open-source developers warned of regulatory capture.
