Federal AI law binding frontier labs by Dec 31?

Yes if a law binds frontier AI developers

Between November 6 and December 31, 2026, is a bill enacted as a Public Law of the 119th Congress that imposes an obligation on private developers of frontier or advanced AI models: a safety framework, testing before deployment, incident reporting, licensing, or a limit on training or release?

The rule

Read the laws of the 119th Congress enacted from November 6 through December 31, 2026, on GovInfo's Public and Private Laws collection and the Congress.

Settles on a regulatory filing.

What would move the Call

  • A Public Law by Dec 31, 2026 binds private frontier developers beyond federal contractors: the brake exists; who wrote it?
  • Epoch's index on Mar 31, 2027 has the best Chinese model 92 days or less behind the first US model to reach its score, chip rules unchanged.
  • Language published for the Nov 28 deadline defines Super Intelligence by capability or compute: the name became a text.

If Washington slows its frontier AI labs, does China take the lead?
