Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Wednesday proposed a sweeping national standard on artificial intelligence that seeks to make good on President Donald Trump’s call for a federal law in lieu of state regulations.
Blackburn, R-Tenn., released a discussion draft bill and summary of her AI framework legislation, which would place a “duty of care” requirement on AI developers and sunset protections for hosts of user-generated content online, alongside other new requirements.
Blackburn, who is running for governor of her home state, has been a critic of social media platforms and of suggestions by Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and others to limit state regulation of AI without a federal law.
