House Republicans have included a controversial provision in their budget bill that would impose a ten-year ban on states regulating AI. This move threatens to nullify protections against AI discrimination and privacy breaches.
Over 140 organizations, including academic and civil rights groups, have condemned the proposal, arguing it enables companies to deploy harmful AI technologies without accountability, potentially putting citizens at risk.
In response to federal oversight gaps, some states are enacting their own AI regulations. Meanwhile, there is bipartisan support in Congress for targeted AI governance, showcasing growing concerns about unregulated AI deployment.
