The AI moratorium provision within President Trump's comprehensive bill has sparked considerable opposition among lawmakers, leading to a revised proposal from Senators Blackburn and Cruz, reducing the pause from ten to five years. Blackburn has expressed concerns that the new language may still permit Big Tech to exploit vulnerable groups. She emphasized the need for comprehensive federal legislation, such as the Kids Online Safety Act, to adequately protect citizens from potential abuses by AI.
Senator Marsha Blackburn stated, "While I appreciate Chairman Cruz's efforts to find acceptable language that allows states to protect their citizens from the abuses of AI, the current language is not acceptable to those who need these protections the most."
The moratorium on state AI regulations was initially set at a decade but has since been revised to five years with various carve-outs.
