""What big tech is trying to do here is an even larger giveaway than Section 230," says Future of Life Institute's head of U.S. policy Michael Kleinman."
""You literally have big tech lobbyists meeting with a handful of senior Republicans trying over the course of a holiday weekend to craft legislation that will govern what state governments can do around AI for the future - it's appalling.""
"Senate Democrats also have no visibility on the scope of the moratorium language that will go in the NDAA."
Senate Republicans, aided by tech industry lobbyists and insiders, are crafting NDAA language intended to preempt state efforts to regulate AI labs. A small group of GOP lawmakers, staffers, and tech lobbyists worked through the weekend to draft the provision. Democrats and others may not see the moratorium language prior to the must-pass NDAA vote, leaving uncertainty about its scope. The proposed preemption could bar states from enacting consumer protection or unemployment-related AI laws. Massachusetts Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey urged colleagues to oppose adding the moratorium, calling it a "poison pill."
