US House lawmakers release draft bill to regulate AI

A bipartisan pair of US House lawmakers ‌released ⁠draft ⁠legislation on Thursday that would prohibit states from passing laws "targeting artificial intelligence model development," according to copy of the draft.

The ⁠draft legislation, ‌released by Democrat Lori Trahan ⁠of Massachusetts and Republican Jay Obernolte of California, would not bar states from regulating how AI technology is used, according to the draft.

"We ‌are releasing this draft to hear from stakeholders, experts, ⁠and the public so we can strengthen the legislation before it is formally introduced," Obernolte said in a statement.
