Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., will introduce legislation with Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., that would make companies civilly and criminally responsible when their AI agents go rogue and carry out hacking incidents, Axios reported. The new bipartisan proposal would place liability on firms for rogue AI-agent hacking.
The bill effort comes as Google announced its latest frontier AI model, Gemini 4 Argon. The announcement places a new frontier model at the center of the public liability discussion, as lawmakers seek rules for the companies whose AI systems conduct unauthorized digital attacks.
