NAPA, California, Nov 4 (Reuters) - The US ⁠federal government will lay out all ‌the laws and regulations that apply to domestic AI labs later this month, Pentagon ​Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael ⁠said on Wednesday.

Michael, ⁠who is vice chair of the government's ⁠Super ‌Intelligence Task Force, said the group would publicize the ⁠regulatory landscape "in the next week or ​two." The ‌task force is an intergovernmental agency ⁠established ​by President Donald Trump to establish AI policy.

Michael, speaking at a Wall Street ⁠Journal technology conference in ​Napa, California, did not provide additional details.

"What we're trying to do is create ⁠a framework that makes the American people have confidence that these companies are going to do the right thing," ​he said. "Or else ⁠I think what you get is 535 ​legislators writing a ‌piece of regulation that ​could kill the industry."
