What happened: A Delaware proposal would let AI agents operate companies. US Rep. James Comer sent Governor Matt Meyer a letter seeking documents on the plan, called the Artificial Intelligence Company (AIC). Why it matters: Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said the proposal is ripe for abuse and could shield AI companies and investors from responsibility for harmful actions.
