President Trump has revived Senator Ted Cruz's proposal to preempt state AI laws, calling for a uniform federal standard. The plan would require the FTC chair to issue a policy statement on when state regulations that alter AI outputs are preempted. Critics, including Senators Marsha Blackburn, Maria Cantwell, and Jack Reed, argue the move would block state consumer protections and limit legislative action. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise supports adding the ban to the National Defense Authorization Act, while Democrats aim to keep it out. Trump’s Truth Social post frames the effort as a defense against DEI‑driven state rules and foreign competition. Leer más →

California’s newly signed AI safety and transparency bill, SB 53, requires large AI labs to disclose safety protocols and adhere to them, aiming to prevent misuse such as cyber‑attacks or bio‑weapon creation. Encode AI’s Adam Billen says the legislation shows policymakers can protect innovation while ensuring safety, noting that many companies already perform model testing and release model cards. While some industry leaders worry about competitive pressure to relax standards, the bill’s enforcement by the Office of Emergency Services seeks to keep safeguards in place. The law has drawn mixed reactions from Silicon Valley, but proponents view it as a model of democratic collaboration. Leer más →

Senator Ted Cruz has introduced the SANDBOX Act, a proposal that would let artificial‑intelligence companies obtain waivers from existing federal regulations to test and deploy AI systems with limited oversight. The bill would require companies to disclose risk‑mitigation plans, allow waivers up to ten years, and give the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy final appeal authority. Critics, including the Tech Oversight Project and Public Citizen, warn the legislation could give big tech a preferential regulatory environment and undermine existing agency authority. Leer más →

Senator Ted Cruz introduced the SANDBOX Act, arguing that existing U.S. regulations are ill‑suited, hindering AI innovation. He urges a more adaptable framework to accommodate emerging applications in sectors like healthcare and transportation. Industry groups such as Netchoice welcomed the bill, citing its “innovation‑first” approach. However, safety advocates, including the Alliance for Secure AI, warned that the legislation could weaken essential safeguards, referencing recent controversies involving Meta’s chatbots and OpenAI’s response to a tragic incident linked to ChatGPT.
