A state representative from Utah, Doug Fiefia, has challenged President Donald Trump's call for states to stop regulating artificial intelligence (AI) in the wake of the president's proposal to do so. His focus has put him at odds with the White House, which opposes a single national standard for artificial intelligence and argues excessive regulation could hinder American innovation in a global competition with China. With no progress in Congress, state lawmakers have been struggling to address concerns about AI, which is poised to reshape the economy. There are over 1,000 state legislative proposals addressing AI, with some suggesting forcing chatbots to remind users they are not human and barring the use of AI to make nonconsensual pornography. The most significant regulations have been passed in California and New York. However, there is pressure in Republican-led states, including Florida, where Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis added the issue to a special legislative session.
