LETTER: Congress is making it illegal to regulate AI in our government

Body

Buried deep in H.R. 1 [the One Big Beautiful Bill Act] is a clause that would prohibit any state or local government from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years. That includes the use of AI in law enforcement, hiring practices, surveillance, education, and even social services. The only exception? If a law helps implement AI faster. 

That’s not innovation.  It's a rubber stamp.
