House Republicans Push 10-Year Ban on State AI Regulations in Budget Bill
- House Republicans included a ten-year federal ban on state AI regulation in a must-pass budget reconciliation bill in 2025.
- This action arose from federal inaction and industry demands to avoid a patchwork of state laws, which already exist in at least six states.
- Big Tech companies like OpenAI, Meta, and IBM have supported federal preemption to enable innovation and efficiency while seeking to influence regulatory design.
- Rep. Jan Schakowsky criticized the proposal as a major benefit to large technology companies, while various nonprofit organizations cautioned that it could fail to protect consumers from risks associated with AI, such as deepfakes and bias.
- If enacted, the bill would block states from regulating AI for a decade, potentially limiting oversight and reinforcing the Trump administration's deregulatory AI policy approach.
