"On Sunday night, House Republicans have introduced legislation that could halt states' enforcement of AI regulations for 10 years, potentially affecting laws like California's patient disclosure requirements and New York's bias audits, as well as a future funding mandate. This measure might restrict how states allocate federal AI funds and could conflict with the White House’s tech priorities, including examples like the Education Department's AI programs where state funding may differ from federal guidance."
