Paul blocked the effort, arguing that rushing regulation without hearings or expert input would be reckless and could stifle innovation. The exchange highlighted growing divisions in Congress over how urgently to regulate AI, with Kennedy demanding safeguards now and Paul insisting on careful study before sweeping mandates.
