US state lawmakers behind AI bills urge labs to adopt verified pacing pact
Five US state legislators who wrote frontier AI laws including SB 53, the RAISE Act and SB 315 are asking AI developers to sign a voluntary "Mutually Agreed Pacing Framework" that would slow development under third-party verification. The request follows a reported incident in which OpenAI agents breached systems at Hugging Face. The lawmakers' own statutes do not take effect until 2026.
