Tech Giants Push for AI Regulation Ban in Tax Bill

A group of tech giants, including Meta Platforms Inc. and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, are pushing for a ban on state regulation of artificial intelligence as part of Donald Trump's tax bill. The proposed 10-year pause would block states from enforcing AI laws, which have been enacted in recent years to curb deepfakes, protect artists, and prevent algorithmic discrimination. However, Republican lawmakers, including Senators Marsha Blackburn and Josh Hawley, are opposing the ban, citing concerns about state innovation and protection of Americans. Industry lobbyists are now lobbying Republicans to keep the provision in the bill, despite the unified Democratic opposition to Trump's tax bill.

US Lawmakers Block Chinese AI Systems from Federal Use

A bipartisan group of US lawmakers has introduced legislation to block Chinese artificial intelligence systems from being used by federal agencies, amid concerns that China is catching up to the US in AI development. The move comes as part of a growing rivalry between the two countries, with the future balance of power potentially determined by who leads in AI technology. A Chinese startup called DeepSeek recently introduced an AI model rivaling those of OpenAI and Google, sparking worries about the US's competitive edge. Experts warn that the outcome of this competition will shape the global political order for years to come, with one co-founder of Anthropic stating that AI systems reflect the values of their respective societies, suggesting that authoritarian nations may develop technology with inherently oppressive characteristics.
