US EditionBan on AI Regulations Tucked Into ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Could Be Deleted in the Senate
- President Donald Trump proposed a Republican-backed tax and spending bill known as the 'big, beautiful bill' that narrowly passed the House on May 22, 2025, and now heads to the Senate.
- The bill includes a provision that would bar states from enforcing AI regulations for 10 years, creating a federal moratorium amid no current central federal AI oversight and a patchwork of state laws.
- In 2025, over 550 AI-related bills have been proposed across more than 45 states and Puerto Rico, with states such as Utah, Maryland, and Florida enacting specific laws for AI oversight, while technology companies caution that such state-level regulations might impede AI development.
- The bill also includes $500 million in funding over 10 years to modernize government operations using AI, but faces opposition from bipartisan state attorneys general and some Republican senators concerned over federal overreach and legal hurdles under the Byrd Rule.
- While tech executives, including OpenAI's Sam Altman, support a single federal approach for AI regulation as a 'learning period,' critics warn the ban could allow unchecked AI risks, and Senate approval remains uncertain with parliamentary challenges expected.
