The latest version of a Republican Budget Reconciliation Bill proposes a decade-long ban on state-level AI regulations, worrying over 140 policy groups and organizations. Critics argue that this provision risks allowing AI companies to operate without accountability, impacting crucial sectors like hiring, housing, and healthcare. The bill's language prevents any state regulation of AI systems, leading to concerns about societal safety as AI continues to influence everyday life. Advocates warn this could enable harmful practices by companies with no regulatory oversight.
The AI preemption provision is a dangerous giveaway to Big Tech CEOs who have bet everything on a society where unfinished, unaccountable AI is prematurely forced into every aspect of our lives, Emily Peterson-Cassin of Demand Progress warned.
Americans would have no way to institute regulatory safeguards around and against AI systems as they increasingly shape critical aspects of Americans' lives, including hiring, housing, and healthcare.
