Republican Governor of Arkansas Sarah Huckabee Sanders is calling on her GOP colleagues to remove one part of President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.”
According to her column in the Washington Post, “There is one very small portion of the bill that was added by Congress that would have unintended consequences and threatens to undo all the great work states have done to protect our citizens from the misuse of artificial intelligence.”
She said the bill in its current form would ban “state-level AI protections” for 10 years. States across America (like Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, and Utah) have already taken action against AI. This includes passing laws which protect copyright and real people from AI's sexually explicit images being made of them.
Huckabee Sanders believes these laws are “changes that every state and Congress should get behind.” “Americans are at risk from bad actors in the AI industry until lawmakers are allowed to establish basic rules and fairness — and 10 years is too long to wait,” Huckabee Sanders affirmed before calling the proposal to remove states' rights “the antithesis of what our founders envisioned when they established our federal system.”
