'AI Is a Different Beast. It's Not Human': Concerns Over 'Big Beautiful Bill' Ban on State AI Laws

Buried deep within President Trump's so-called 'big beautiful bill' is a ten-year moratorium preventing states from regulating artificial intelligence. As AI technology races ahead, there is concern that this lack of oversight could be very dangerous. 

Not only has a bipartisan coalition of 260 state lawmakers urged Congress to remove the 10-year freeze on state and local AI regulation, but polling shows a solid majority of Americans oppose the moratorium, which would cancel current laws and prevent states from enacting new AI laws.
 
Many ask why it is even in the bill that has already passed the House and is now before the Senate? The answer appears to be deep concern that too much regulation will help China win the crucial AI competition.

The White House doesn't want states creating regulatory headaches when it's racing against China's communist regime for AI supremacy.
