Are you curious about what Trump’s second term means for Washington, business, and the world? Look no further than the White House Watch newsletter, your guide to staying informed on the latest developments in politics and beyond.

The US Senate recently made a significant decision regarding the regulation of artificial intelligence models. In a vote of 99 to one, senators rejected a proposed 10-year ban on states regulating AI, a move that dealt a blow to Silicon Valley companies that supported the controversial plan.

Advocates of the ban, including lobbyists from tech giants like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, as well as industry leaders like OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Trump’s AI tsar David Sacks, argued that restricting state regulation of AI was necessary to prevent a patchwork of inconsistent rules that could hinder innovation and put the US at a disadvantage compared to China.

However, the proposed moratorium faced resistance within the Republican party, with concerns about stifling technological advancements and the lack of federal regulations on AI safety and data protection. Max Tegmark, an MIT professor and president of the Future of Life Institute, criticized the move as a “Big Tech power grab” that would limit oversight of AI companies.

Senator Marsha Blackburn raised concerns about the potential impact of the ban on state laws related to child safety and consumer protections. While Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick initially supported a compromise for a five-year curb on state AI regulation, Blackburn ultimately led the efforts to strike down the amendment.

The Senate’s decision opens the door for state-level AI regulation, with states like New York already passing laws requiring large AI companies to publish safety and security reports. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill in September that would have imposed safety testing requirements on large AI models.
