Another artificial intelligence regulation framework has joined the growing ranks on Capitol Hill, this time focused primarily on model safety and workforce impacts.
Reps. Jay Obernolte, R-Calif., and Lori Trahan, D-Mass., unveiled their long-expected framework as a discussion draft bill on Thursday. Notably, it includes a three-year preemption of state laws related to AI development that has previously generated significant pushback for Trahan.
Reps. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va.; Scott Franklin, R-Fla.; Scott Peters, D-Calif.; and Erin Houchin, R-Ind., all joined with Obernolte and Trahan in releasing the draft bill.
The 269-page text, dubbed The Great American Artificial Intelligence Act, comes just days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish voluntary federal agency reviews of new frontier AI models.
