Another bid to block state AI regulation has failed...for now | TechCrunch

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) said Tuesday that Republican leaders would look for "other places" to include the measure - an effort that President Trump has supported - according to The Hill. The proposal to preempt states from enacting their own AI regulation came months after GOP lawmakers sought to include a 10-year moratorium on state AI laws in Trump's tax and spending bill earlier this year.

But they are wrong. These arguments assume that China cannot succeed in AI without access to these advanced AI chips, which is not the case. Advanced AI chips simply reduce the cost of AI. Today's state-of-the-art AI models require a large number of AI chips to build and run. An advanced chip has higher performance; therefore, fewer are needed to achieve the same AI performance.
