# US federal AI regulation remains unlikely despite rogue-model concerns

*2026-09-16 · Source: [WIRED](https://www.wired.com/story/washington-wont-be-regulating-ai-anytime-soon/)*

Despite growing concern about AI models behaving unpredictably, comprehensive federal AI legislation remains unlikely in the near term, and the White House remains opposed to new oversight.

**Why it matters:** This contrasts with the EU's more active regulatory posture (see von der Leyen's comments the same day) and with labs' own voluntary safety commitments, suggesting industry self-regulation and state-level rules, rather than federal law, will keep governing US AI for the foreseeable future.

**Topics:** policy
