Attorneys general from 35 states and the District of Columbia, representing both Republican and Democratic parties, urged congressional leaders on Tuesday to avoid blocking state-level AI laws, cautioning that leaving the technology unregulated could lead to “disastrous consequences.”
A graphic with the headline "CONGRESS IS WEIGHING FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT WOULD OVERRIDE STATE-LEVEL AI REGULATIONS." The text explains that the proposed law would create a single national standard for at least five years to avoid a patchwork of conflicting state laws. Supporters argue this would give businesses clarity and prevent inconsistent or burdensome state requirements. The words "CAPITOL," "Politics," and "CONGRESS" are also prominently displayed.
🚨 NEW: Congress is quietly advancing a major AI regulation package that could reshape how the technology is used in elections, policing, and federal agencies.
The bill is moving through committee at unusual speed, with limited public hearings and growing concerns about transparency.
