The U.S. House may implement a 10-year ban on states regulating artificial intelligence, included in a larger budget reconciliation bill. This move has faced criticism from Democrats, arguing it undermines consumer privacy and allows AI companies to operate without accountability. The provision, which some lawmakers believe could violate procedural rules, arrives as states have been actively seeking to establish their own AI regulations. The legislative future of this proposal remains uncertain, especially regarding its acceptance in the Senate, where differing opinions on AI regulation persist.
States may be barred from regulating AI for 10 years under a pending U.S. House bill, sparking concern from Democrats about consumer protections.
The bill's language prohibits states from enforcing AI regulations, which Democrats argue would leave consumers vulnerable to privacy violations and misuse of AI technologies.
Committee Democrats criticize the provision, arguing it would let companies exploit AI technologies at the expense of consumer protection and contribute to misinformation.
The bill's fate in the Senate is uncertain, facing potential challenges under the Byrd Rule and opposition from states seeking to regulate AI.
