Republicans want to prevent states from organizing artificial intelligence. On Sunday, the Republican Parliamentary Committee presented Budget settlement bill This suggests preventing states from imposing “any law or regulations” aimed at exceptionally a wide range of automated computing systems for a period of 10 years after enacting the law – a step that will make efforts to regulate everything from AI Chatbots to online search results.
Democrats describe the new rule as a “giant gift” for large technology, and organizations that enhance the supervision of artificial intelligence, such as Americans from responsible innovation (ARI), who say it can have “catastrophic consequences” of the public. They are gift companies like Openai The recently searched In Washington, it aims to avoid a large number of suspended and effective state laws. the Budget reconciliation The process allows legislators to submit rapid laws related to government spending by requesting only a majority in the Senate instead of 60 votes.
This is the draft law, which was presented by the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Energy and Trade, Brett Gutry (R-Ky), would prevent countries from imposing “legal obstacles”-or restrictions on design, performance, civil responsibility and documents-on artificial intelligence models and “automated decision” systems. It defines the last category as “any mathematical process derived from machine learning, statistical modeling, data analyzes, or artificial intelligence that produces a simplified result, including the result, classification or recommendation, to effectively influence or replace human decision -making.”
This means that the peak end for 10 years can extend beyond artificial intelligence. Travis Hall, Director of State Participation at the Center for Democracy and Technology, tells freedom The automatic decision systems shown in the draft law “permeate digital services, from the results of the research and the directions of the mapping, to health diagnoses and the analysis of risks to the decisions of issuing judgments.”
During the legislative session 2025, in the states He proposed more than 500 laws This hall says this bill can “prohibit unambiguously.” They focus on everything from the safety of Chatbot for minors to Deepfake restrictions and disclosure of the use of artificial intelligence in political advertisements. If the draft law passes, a handful of countries that have succeeded in approving the laws of artificial intelligence may also see their efforts being lost.
“The transition to the prohibition of artificial intelligence guarantees is a gift to the great technology that will return to our bite.”
Last year, the governor of California State Gavin News Corporate Prevention Law signed By using a semi -AI created by artificial intelligence without permission. Tennessee also adopted Similar protection legislationWhile Utah has it Sent of a base that requires some businesses To detect when customers interact with artificial intelligence. Colorado intelligence lawAnd that comes into effect next year, will require companies that develop “high -risk” systems of artificial intelligence to protect customers from “algorithm discrimination”.
California also approached the enactment of the AI Law of AI SB 1047, which would have imposed restrictions on security and legal responsibility on the state’s artificial intelligence companies, such as Openai, Anthropic, Google and Meta. Openai budgetThe artificial intelligence list should be said at the federal level instead of having a “mixture” of state laws that may make compliance more difficult. The Governor of New News is the veto against the bill Last September and Openai has explained She wants to avoid the existence of state laws “disrupting innovation” in the future.
With a very little artificial intelligence organization at the federal level, the United States has been left to the United States to determine how to deal with artificial intelligence. Even before the rise of artificial intelligence, the legislators were in the states Wrestle with how to fight the algorithm discrimination -Included systems based on machine learning that display race or bias between gender-in areas such as housing and criminal justice. It is possible that the efforts to combat this matter will hinder the Republican proposal.
Democrats have criticized the inclusion of government on the reconciliation bill, with MP Jean Shakovsky (D-Lil) Saying the ban for 10 years “You will allow artificial intelligence companies to ignore consumer privacy protection, allow Deepfakes to spread, allow companies to have a personal file and deceive consumers using artificial intelligence.” In a statement Posted to XSenator Ed Marki said that the proposal “will lead to a dark era of the environment, our children and marginalized societies.”
The non -profit organization of the Americans has compared to responsible innovation (ARI) the potential ban on the government’s failure to correctly organize social media. “The legislators have stopped guaranteeing social media for a decade and we are still dealing with repercussions.” He said in a statement. “Now applying those damages to technology that moves quickly like artificial intelligence … in the end, the transition to the prohibition of artificial intelligence guarantees is a gift to the great technology that will return to our bite.”
This ruling can hit a barrier in the Senate, as Iri notes that Berd says Reconciliation bills can only focus on financial issues. However, it is worrying to see Republican legislators pressing to prevent the supervision of a new technology that is combined in almost everything.
