""Investment in AI is helping to make the U.S. Economy the "HOTTEST" in the World - But overregulation by the States is threatening to undermine this Growth Engine," Trump posted on Truth Social. "Some States are even trying to embed DEI ideology into AI models, producing "Woke AI" (Remember Black George Washington?). We MUST have one Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes. We Can do this in a way that protects children AND prevents censorship!""
"Catch up quick: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has promised to revive his efforts to stop state-level AI regulation, but faces opposition from key Republicans, including Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and conservative leaders outside of Congress. 99 senators, including Cruz himself, ended up voting to strip the AI moratorium from the budget bill this summer. Blackburn and others like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) are adamant about protecting kids online and view AI chatbots as a serious threat that states have been leading on addressing."
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is trying to include federal preemption of state AI regulation in a must-pass defense policy bill expected to be finalized in coming weeks. Former President Donald Trump said investment in AI fuels U.S. economic growth and warned that state overregulation and DEI-influenced "Woke AI" threaten that engine, calling for one federal standard to protect children and prevent censorship. Senator Ted Cruz vowed to revive efforts to block state-level AI rules but faces opposition from Senators Marsha Blackburn and Josh Hawley and conservative leaders. Governor Ron DeSantis opposes the effort.
