"Section 4 of the executive order, which is entitled "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence," mandates identification of "state laws that require AI models to alter their truthful outputs, or that may compel AI developers or deployers to disclose or report information in a manner that would violate the First Amendment or any other provision of the Constitution.""
"States with onerous AI laws identified pursuant to section 4 of this order are ineligible for non-deployment funds, to the maximum extent allowed by Federal law. The Policy Notice must also describe how a fragmented State regulatory landscape for AI threatens to undermine BEAD-funded deployments, the growth of AI applications reliant on high-speed networks, and BEAD's mission of delivering universal, high-speed connectivity."
An executive order ties Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) non-deployment funds to state alignment with a federal AI policy framework. Section 4 requires identifying state laws that require AI models to alter truthful outputs or that may compel developers or deployers to disclose information in ways that would violate the First Amendment or other constitutional provisions. States with identified onerous AI laws are ineligible for non-deployment funds to the maximum extent allowed by federal law. The Policy Notice must explain how fragmented state AI regulation threatens BEAD-funded deployments and AI applications reliant on high-speed networks. CCG Consulting's Doug Dawson warns state broadband offices lack authority to overturn AI regulations.
