MAGA is split over the AI provision in Trump's Big Beautiful Bill
- Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' contains a provision prohibiting states from regulating artificial intelligence for 10 years, causing division within the GOP.
- While Big Tech supports the provision, some of Trump's staunchest supporters in Congress criticize it as 'bad,' 'potentially dangerous,' and a violation of states' rights.
- The proposal aims to provide leeway to the tech industry amidst the AI competition with China and prevent discrepancies in state laws.
- Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and other GOP members like Sen. Josh Hawley and Sen. Marsha Blackburn oppose the AI regulation ban.
- Greene expressed concerns about the potential dangers of unrestricted AI development over the next decade.
- Sen. Hawley advocates for federalism and sensible oversight to safeguard liberties regarding AI regulations.
- Trump has not publicly commented on the provision, and key Democrats, including Sen. Chris Murphy, criticize it as giving undue advantage to the tech sector.
- The Senate's version of the bill penalizes states that pass new AI rules by withholding federal broadband funds.
- While Big Tech generally supports the 10-year moratorium, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has criticized it as lacking a clear federal response.
- The Senate may decide to vote on removing the AI provision before the final bill passage targeted before July 4, potentially subjecting the bill to further amendments.
- Trump's stance on the AI provision remains unknown, and the bill's fate will depend on potential revisions before reaching his desk.
