Despite Trump’s best efforts, US states will officially be able to regulate AI over the next ten years, with the US Senate voting to ditch that provision from the president’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
AI has been evolving at break-neck speed over the last few years, with companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google churning out model after model with little regulatory oversight. In order to compete with China, Trump wanted to further limit regulations in general to allow unfettered development moving forward.
Unfortunately for Trump, that won’t be the case, with the US Senate decisively shutting down the provision in a vote this week.
