Senate Rejects AI Regulation Moratorium | JQJO

The US Senate overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to prevent states from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade. Initially a 10-year ban, the amended proposal offered federal funding incentives to states refraining from AI regulation. Despite support from some tech leaders, the measure faced significant opposition from governors, state officials, and AI safety advocates who argued it would shield the industry from accountability. The amendment to remove the provision passed 99-1, effectively ending the effort.
