Republicans Try to Cram Ban on AI Regulation Into Budget Reconciliation Bill | Republicans try to use the Budget Reconciliation bill to stop states from regulating AI entirely for 10 years.


Republicans try to use the Budget Reconciliation bill to stop states from regulating AI entirely for 10 years.

“...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 of this Act,” says the text of the bill introduced Sunday night by Congressman Brett Guthrie of Kentucky, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. In theory, that language will make it impossible to enforce many existing and proposed state laws that aim to protect people from and inform them about AI systems. For example, last year California passed a law that requires health care providers to disclose when they have used generative AI to communicate clinical information to patients.
