Wes Moore Forms Bipartisan Governors Group on AI, Citing Federal Inaction
Moore says states must act as federal leaders lag, as governors in five states have issued AI-related executive orders or other steps in the past month.
- Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is leading a bipartisan National Governors Association effort to develop an artificial intelligence framework, arguing states must fill the void left by federal inaction.
- While Washington remains slow, governors in Maryland, California, Illinois, Oregon, and Virginia issued executive orders over the past month to set standards for the rapidly evolving technology.
- In an interview, Moore, a Democrat, criticized President Donald Trump's recent White House meeting with technology executives as a "billionaire boys club," questioning who advocated for regulatory guardrails.
- President Donald Trump and technology leaders signed a voluntary accord this week he called "morally binding," though Moore argued the governors' independent regulatory efforts remain necessary.
- The debate over artificial intelligence may influence the upcoming presidential campaign, as Congress struggles to reach consensus despite investigations by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and briefings by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
