“Until the assassination of archconservative pundit and activist Charlie Kirk that afternoon, September 10 was shaping up to be all about artificial intelligence and the federal government’s increasingly maximalist approach to its development and deployment. That morning, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, introduced legislation that could allow the White House to unilaterally exempt AI companies from nearly any federal regulation. The bill, called the SANDBOX Act (standing for ‘Strengthening Artificial Intelligence Normalization and Diffusion by Oversight and eXperimentation Act ‘ ….That program would allow companies working on artificial-intelligence products to request ‘a waiver or modification of one or more covered provisions’ for an initial period of two years, renewable up to four times for a total of one decade of exemption from federal regulations.” (09/23/25)
