267 bipartisan state lawmakers from all 50 states signed a letter opposing the AI preemption clause in Congress’s budget bill. They say it would gut state laws, halt local protections, and silence democratic action on AI harms. #NoAIPreemption #TechPolicy

To Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the United States Senate:
We are writing to express strong opposition to the provision in Subtitle C, Part 2 of the tax and budget reconciliation bill, which would undermine ongoing work in the states to address the impact of artificial intelligence (Al). The proposed 10-year freeze of state and local regulation of Al and automated decision systems would cut short democratic discussion of Al policy in the states with a sweeping moratorium that threatens to halt a broad array of laws and restrict policymakers from responding to emerging issues.
As state lawmakers and policymakers, we regularly hear from constituents about the rise of online harms and the impacts of Al on our communities. In an increasingly fraught digital environment, young people are facing new threats online, seniors are targeted by the emergence of Al-generated scams, and workers and creators face new challenges in an Al-integrated economy. Over the next decade, Al will raise some of the most important public policy questions of our time, and it is critical that state policymakers maintain the ability to respond.
The sweeping federal preemption provision in Congress's reconciliation bill would also overreach to halt a broad array of laws elected officials have already passed to address pressing digital issues.
Over the past several years, states across the country have enacted Al-related laws increasing consumer transparency, setting rules for the government acquisition of new technology, protecting patients in our healthcare system, and defending artists and creators. State legislators have done thoughtful work to protect constituents against some of the most obvious and egregious harms of Al that the public is facing in real time. A federal moratorium on Al policy threatens to wipe out these laws and a range of legislation, impacting more than just Al development and leaving constituents across the country vulnerable to harm.

action to address privacy and social media harms, barring all state and local Al laws until Congress acts threatens to setback policymaking and undermine existing enforcement on these issues.
We respectfully urge you to reject any provision that preempts state and local Al legislation in this year's reconciliation package, and to work toward the enactment, rather than the erasure, of thoughtful Al policy solutions.
Thank you for your attention and commitment to democratic, transparent, and responsive governance.
Sincerely,
MHouse of Representatives Representative John Gillette, Arizona House of Representatives Representative Howard Beaty, Arkansas House of Representatives Senator Joshua Bryant, Arkansas State Senate Representative Andrew Collins, Arkansas House of Representatives Representative Cameron Cooper, Arkansas House of Representatives Representative R. Scott Richardson, Arkansas House of Representatives Senator Clarke Tucker, Arkansas State Senate

Padilla, California State Senate Senator Scott Wiener, California State Senate Representative Brianna Titone, Colorado House of Representatives Representative Steven Woodrow, Colorado House of Representatives Representative Josh Elliott, Connecticut House of Representatives Representative Eleni Kavros DeGraw, Connecticut House of Representatives Senator Bob Duff, Connecticut State Senate Representative Kate Farrar, Connecticut House of Representatives Senator James Maroney, Connecticut State Senate Representative Cyndie Romer, Delaware House of Representatives Representative Anna Eskamani, Florida House of Representatives Representative Christine Hunschofsky, Florida House of Representatives

Trump's abrupt U-turn on Nvidia's H20 chips to China, trading security bluster for a 15% revenue slice after CEO schmoozing, unmasks how presidential whims bend to corporate puppeteers, sidelining AI arms-race paranoia. #TechPolicy

Audre Lorde's "master's tools" speech was not about tech platforms. So why does tech discourse keep citing it as if it were? I write about that here: tarakiyee.com/on-the-enshi... #enshittification #AudreLorde #techpolicy

Mind-bendingly, Congress is suddenly obsessed with “AI safety,” which is funny considering they’ve ignored every other safety issue for a decade. ("Decade" is my restraint word when I really mean "century.") #TechPolicy #Governance

UK government* trial of M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost www.theregister.com/2025/…. * Department for Business and Trade Microsoft 365 Copilot pilot: DBT evaluation report www.gov.uk/government/p... #govtech #AIpolicy #techpolicy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Participants were asked to record the time taken for each task with M365 Copilot compared to colleagues not involved in the trial. The assessment report adds: "Observed task sessions showed that M365 Copilot users produced summaries of reports and wrote emails faster and to a higher quality and accuracy than non-users. Time savings observed for writing emails were extremely small.

"However, M365 Copilot users completed Excel data analysis more slowly and to a worse quality and accuracy than non-users, conflicting time savings reported in the diary study for data analysis.

"PowerPoint slides [were] over 7 minutes faster on average, but to a worse quality and accuracy than non-users." This means corrective action was required.
