States urge US Congress not to prohibit them from enforcing AI regulations

( May 16, 2025, 16:06 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser co-led 39 other state attorneys general in a bipartisan letter to the US Congress voicing opposition to a House Energy and Commerce Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation bill that imposes a 10-year prohibition on states from enforcing any state law or regulation addressing artificial intelligence and automated decision-making systems. “In an ideal world, Congress would be driving the conversation forward on artificial intelligence, and their failure to lead on AI and other critical technology policy issues — like data privacy and oversight of social media — is forcing states to act,” the letter said. “Instead of Congress correcting the mistake of abandoning their leadership position on the incredibly important issue of AI, this irresponsible amendment prevents states from protecting consumers from the potential harms and unforeseen consequences of this constantly evolving technology.”Statement follows in full.
