AI has the potential to dramatically transform our way of life, but it also comes with enormous risks. Senator Romney, joined by Senators Reed (D-RI), Moran (R-KS), and King (I-ME), introduced the first congressional framework to safeguard future extremely powerful AI models from misuse by foreign adversaries, terrorists, and less sophisticated bad actors to develop biological, chemical, cyber, or nuclear weapons that would threaten our security and cause widespread harm.
As Congress considers how to approach new technology developments, the senators’ bipartisan framework aims to prioritize the national security implications of AI while ensuring our domestic AI industry is able to develop and maintain an advantage over foreign adversaries.

Senator Romney released the following statement regarding the impeachment proceedings of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:
“While I share the House’s outrage over the President’s disastrous border policies, and I ultimately do not believe his cabinet Secretary’s implementation of those policies meets the Constitution’s test of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’ I voted against the Schumer points of order because it was important to engage in some level of debate. It was a mistake for Senate Democrats to set a new precedent of disposing of the Articles of Impeachment without any evaluation whatsoever.”
The United States must link arms with its allies to push back against China’s aggression around the world. At a Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Senator Romney discussed the likelihood of a Chinese military invasion of Taiwan—a trusted partner of the United States in promoting democracy and advancing peace, prosperity, and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
Senator Romney and Senator Lee together introduced legislation to reauthorize the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) for an additional two years. This legislation aims to provide needed compensation to individuals, including Utahns, who have been adversely affected by our nation’s early nuclear program.
Utah continues to be a great place to do business. Senator Romney met with former Utah Governor Gary Herbert and members of the Utah Valley Chamber to discuss what’s going on in Washington and ways to support our state’s economic growth. He also received a letter from the Chamber’s membership expressing their gratitude for his dedicated service on behalf of Utahns.
Whether Utahns live in our most rural communities or in one of our larger cities, it’s important that they have access to affordable, high-quality health care. Senator Romney met with representatives from the Utah Hospital Association to discuss opportunities to improve health care for Utahns.
