Senate reconciliation bill text tweaks state AI regulation ban
Briefly

The Senate Commerce Committee has released its version of a 10-year moratorium preventing states from regulating artificial intelligence, differing from the House's version, which outright banned state regulation. The Senate proposal would restrict access to broadband and AI funds from states choosing to impose regulations. Lawmakers across party lines, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, expressed concerns over federal power overshadowing state rights, leading to increased bipartisan calls for the elimination of this moratorium, with more than 200 state representatives also voicing their opposition through a joint letter.
"AI is rapidly developing; imagine what it will be one year from now, five years from now, and 10 years from now. We cannot take away states' rights."
"Despite the softer language in the Senate's version, there are calls from lawmakers on both sides to eliminate the 10-year moratorium on state regulation of AI."
