1. The senators have no clue.
2. They support monopolies (or at least oligopolies). That's not compatible with US legislation, is it.

At this rate there will be no AI because it will be smothered in the cradle by governments and large corporations who will stop any possible free thinking individual who might produce the next breakthrough, lest they use this "dangerous" technology to usurp the former's power or the latter's profits.

Maybe not de jure, but it sure seems it de facto is.
