It continued: “Congress is burying a provision that would deprive any state of the right to regulate the technology in any way – without thoughtful public debate – is the opposite of what our founders envisioned.”
Some House Republicans also said they do not support AI rules, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who admitted she discovered it a few days after the vote. Trump’s spending bill.
