9 Democrats voted for an amendment to block "race-based theories" from schools run by the military. GOP Rep. Chip Roy gloated that those Democrats were "feeling heat from their own constituents."

A second congressional aide described the discussions as focusing on the speed of changes in AI and how it could be used. In an interview with Time, Mira Murati, OpenAI's chief technology officer, said the company welcomed input, including from regulators and governments.

Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., delivered a speech Wednesday on the House floor written by Chat GPT.
