Big Tech Lobbies to Block State-Level AI Regulation for a Decade

Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft are pushing to prevent U.S. states from passing AI laws for the next 10 years through trade group Incompas, while Apple is notably absent from the effort. The companies argue that a patchwork of state regulations would stifle innovation and give China a competitive edge. Critics, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Marsha Blackburn, warn the moratorium is dangerous and undermines states’ rights, despite Greene admitting she voted for the bill without reading it.
