House passes budget bill that inexplicably bans state AI regulations for ten years

71% Informative

The US House of Representatives narrowly passed a budget bill banning state laws that regulate AI for the next decade .

The vote fell largely along party lines, with nearly every Republican member of the House approving the bill.

Supporters of the ban argue that it would stop a patchwork of differing state AI laws until Congress can craft its own federal legislation.

Opponents call it a dangerous giveaway to big tech firms, as these companies stand to benefit from a completely unregulated market.
