According to Decrypt, James Comer, the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee (Republican from Kentucky), has launched an investigation into a proposed company entity in Delaware that would be operated daily by AI entities.In a letter to Delaware Governor Matt Meyer, Comer stated that the proposed "Artificial Intelligence Company" (AIC) could exempt AI companies and their investors from liability for damages caused by AI entities, and he requested the governor to submit relevant documents and communications, including "internal AI chat logs," by November 9.The proposal was announced in July in a joint article in Fortune by Delaware Secretary of State Charuni Patibanda-Sanchez and Norm Ai CEO John Nay, positioning it as a public-private partnership led by Norm Ai.By design, the AIC could sue and be sued, hold property, and assume obligations under the direction of AI entities; its sole member must maintain sufficient capital and is not liable for the company's debts except in cases of incomplete capitalization, fraud, or willful misconduct. The AIC can only operate within a regulatory sandbox for 30 months, must disclose its identity to counterparties, and is prohibited from conducting banking activities.Comer also questioned the role of private sector participants in the proposal, stating that the Delaware AI Commission's report due in December 2025 did not mention a security risk assessment or consult independent experts, and the Secretary of State's office refused to clarify its relationship with an AI company involved in the project.He stated that this information could inform federal legislation, including proposals to limit state-level AI regulatory initiatives. The Secretary of State's office denied that the plan is a liability waiver arrangement, and Governor Meyer defended it, with state legislators expected to review the legislative proposal in January.
