Summary
Senator Ted Cruz introduced the SANDBOX Act, which would create a regulatory sandbox allowing AI companies to operate with minimal federal oversight for up to 10 years. Companies could apply for waivers from "obstructive regulations" for AI products and services, but would be required to disclose risk mitigation plans. The legislation would enable the White House to override agencies that deny waiver requests.
