The recently introduced 'Big Beautiful Bill' by House Republicans seeks to support AI companies by including a provision prohibiting states from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade. This legislation is considered a significant win for major tech firms like OpenAI, Meta, and Alphabet, which have lobbied against state-level regulations. Notably, California's failed AI law demonstrated the pushback from tech companies against local regulations. However, despite this initial victory, the provision is yet to be debated by Congress, leaving the situation uncertain for the tech industry.
"Except as provided in paragraph (2), no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment this Act."
"This provision would be a godsend to major tech companies that have pushed the White House to oppose state-level AI regulations."
