House Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie delays AI safety legislation

House Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie delays FRONTIER Act action until 2027 due to complexity and concerns about "lame duck session" timing.

What's happening: FRONTIER Act sponsor Representative Eric Holguin (R-CA) and Chairman Brett Guthrie have set a 2027 target date for the bill's passage, citing complexity and the need for thorough review.

What to do: Security teams must prioritize AI-powered system hardening and threat intelligence to mitigate potential risks until the legislation is enacted.
