U.S. lawmakers are pressing top AI firms for answers. Several senators just fired off letters asking these companies to explain exactly how they're tackling AI-powered scams—a growing headache that's hitting everything from traditional finance to crypto. With deepfakes, phishing bots, and synthetic identities getting scarier by the day, regulators want receipts. The crypto space knows this playbook all too well: bad actors using cutting-edge tech to drain wallets and fake projects. Now Washington's turning up the heat on AI companies to show they're not just building tools that scammers love. Expect more scrutiny as the lines between AI innovation and fraud prevention keep blurring.

NGL, this is the typical "We made the gun, don't blame us for the killings" scapegoat play... Will AI companies really respond seriously?

Washington has finally woken up. Are they starting to question AI companies now? They should have done it earlier. We've been scammed in the crypto world to the point of numbness...

Nah, there we go again, blaming AI companies. I’ve never seen any big tech firm truly solve any problems.
---
Deepfake technology has been rampant in the crypto world for a long time. Is Washington only now waking up?
---
Basically, it's politicians shifting blame. Real hackers don't care about your innovation or prevention.
---
Just wait and see, these letters will end up as decorations. AI companies will just toss out a couple of vague statements and move on.
---
I just want to know how they plan to regulate deepfake; the technology itself can't be controlled, only usage can be limited? Why does this logic sound so far-fetched?
---
The scammer circle has already been using this technology for a long time. Why are they only now rushing to ask questions?
---
Yep, same old trick: accountability -> company promises -> nothing actually changes.

Washington is pretending again; these AI companies should have been questioned long ago. We've been bleeding financially for years as retail investors, just hoping they can fend off scammers? Haha

NGL, this time AI companies should be nervous. Being watched by lawmakers is just as thrilling as being watched by exchanges.
