Win the November midterm elections and will succeedpelosi (Nancy Pelosi) Current California Senator Scott Wiener, who serves as the federal representative in San Francisco, took aim on the 12thHuida ceoJen-Hsun Huang (Jensen Huang) resigned and issued a statement, emphasizing that his resignation did not answer questions about national security and corporate political influence, calling on Congress to conduct a comprehensive investigation and formulate national regulations for artificial intelligence (AI).
Visago said Congress should investigate Huang’s conduct, including his appearance lobbying the president to allow the sale of advanced chips to China, the United States’ main global rival. He believes this incident highlights the need for comprehensive supervision of AI, especially as export controls of advanced chips should be significantly strengthened to ensure that AI benefits the public rather than harming it.
“Ultimately, trillion-dollar companies should not have unchecked power over technologies that will profoundly impact all Americans,” Wilson said in a statement. “The era of companies controlling technology like the ‘Wild West’ without public oversight must end.”
When Wei Shanghao was a senator from California, he actively promoted AI regulation. He proposed bill SB1047 in 2024, which advocated establishing security specifications for advanced AI models to prevent major cyberattacks and risks such as biological and chemical weapons, but it was vetoed by Governor Newsom. He criticized the veto at the time as a setback in monitoring large enterprises and ensuring public safety.
In 2025, the SB53 bill, promoted by Westco, was signed by Newsom, requiring large cutting-edge AI developers to disclose their security frameworks, report major security incidents, and protect whistleblowers. Compared to the previous focus on model security, this statement further increases regulatory demands for chip exports and corporate political influence at the federal level.
Huida announced on the 12th that Huang Renxun has resigned from the CEO and other positions, with Chief Financial Officer Colette Cress acting as CEO on an interim basis.
