(Just The News)—Republicans on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee proposed an alternative to a controversial part of President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” that would curb state regulatory authorities over artificial intelligence.
In the House-passed version of the “big beautiful bill,” there was a 10-year ban on individual states passing laws to regulate AI models and systems.
That generated pushback from two GOP senators and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., according to The Hill.
The Senate updated the GOP’s version of the bill to declare that states can’t regulate AI if they want federal broadband funding.
“These provisions fulfill the mandate given to President Trump and Congressional Republicans by the voters: to unleash America’s full economic potential and keep her safe from enemies,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Thursday regarding the changes, according to The Associated Press.
