During a press conference, Blackburn and Cantwell discussed the AI regulation proposal, asserting it should not be in reconciliation bills. They emphasized the need for federal legislation without imposing a moratorium that limits states' capacities to protect their citizens. Criticism arose from Sens. Johnson and Hawley on restricting state regulation, while Cruz defended his position against potential EU-style regulations that could stifle AI deployment. Washington AG Brown highlighted state laws that could be invalidated under this proposal, stressing their importance in consumer protection.
"All of those laws, in my reading, would be invalid if this was to pass through Congress, and each of those laws are prohibiting and protecting people here in our state."
"Cruz argued that his proposal stops states from strangling AI deployment with EU-style regulation."
