Sens. Elizabeth Warren & Ed Markey of Massachusetts, FL Gov. Ron DeSantis, MTG, Steve Bannon, the Dem-controlled NY Legislature ... ALL AGREE!
And many more liberal Democrats and a number of MAGA conservatives. They all OPPOSE federal legislation being pushed by President Trump that would prohibit state regulation of AI.
“It’s a coalition of almost everyone against a few extreme tech billionaires who are trying to buy unfettered power,” said New York State Assembly Member Alex Bores, a proponent of states’ ability to govern AI and a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House. “States protecting our citizens is overwhelmingly popular and bipartisan.”
A new poll released Friday night, conducted by YouGov in partnership with the conservative-leaning Institute for Family Studies, found that surveyed adults opposed congressional pre-emption efforts on AI by a 3-to-1 margin.
Bores is a co-author of New York’s RAISE Act, which looks to impose safety-monitoring and evaluation requirements on some of America’s largest AI companies, among other measures. The act has passed the state Legislature and is awaiting New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis denounced the efforts to prevent states from passing laws governing AI. Writing on X, DeSantis argued that federal pre-emption “takes away our sovereignty” and that “sneaking it into the defense bill is an insult to voters.”
The federal pre-emption efforts have also triggered stiff opposition from Republicans’ populist MAGA flank. On his “War Room” podcast Wednesday, influential MAGA whisperer Steve Bannon criticized the moves and advocated for sensible AI regulations. “They’re trying to slip this into another 9,000 page, must-pass NDAA, that they don’t want to have a discussion about, in the dark of night,” he said.

And, yes, add my name to the opposition list, too.
