On 12 June 2026, the Congressional Internet Caucus Academy hosted a lunch event ‘AI Cybersecurity After the Executive Order: What’s Next?‘ at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington DC.
nArtificial intelligence policy is rapidly evolving as lawmakers, agencies, and the White House grapple with questions surrounding safety, national security, critical infrastructure, and economic competitiveness. This briefing provided Congressional staff with an overview of the current policy landscape, including the future of federal AI safety initiatives (and ones recently signed), the status of legislation on the Hill, and how cybersecurity concerns are reshaping the AI debate. Panelists discussed where consensus may emerge — and where major political and regulatory conflicts are likely ahead.
