Trump's megabill, dubbed the "Big Beautiful Bill," controversially seeks to prevent states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next decade. This provision, largely backed by Big Tech, has drawn criticism from some Republican figures including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene who labeled it "potentially dangerous" and argued it violates states' rights. Critics like Sen. Josh Hawley stress the importance of allowing states to develop their own regulations. Proponents, like Sen. Ted Cruz, claim it ensures a unified approach amidst the competitive AI landscape with countries like China.
"We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free rein and tying states hands is potentially dangerous," Greene wrote.
"I would think that, just as a matter of federalism, we'd want states to be able to try out different regimes that they think will work for their state," Hawley told BI.
