Buried 291 pages into the 1,116-page bill as passed out of committee, Section 43201© describes a 10-year moratorium on state-level enforcement of “any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems.”
Exceptions to the rule are few, and only allow for state-level rules that “remove legal impediments” to operating AI systems and streamlining their adoption. State laws that impose any substantive restrictions or requirements on AI models will be considered unenforceable under the decade-long moratorium.
Trump’s AI deregulation bill blocks states from controlling AI to protect corporate allies, consolidate federal power, and enable unchecked use of AI for propaganda and surveillance. It’s framed as pro-innovation but really serves elite interests and suppresses state resistance.
That was ChatGPT. There is a clear agenda here that not many care to take seriously.
What other Theil based items are in this bill?
States’ rights! No, not like that.
This might also flop in court. When the feds don’t regulate a thing, often they cannot stop the states from doing so. But details matter.
