Congressional AI bill fight: federal preemption as 'floor, not a ceiling'
ShakeelHashim · x · 2026-11-12
- Rep. Ted Lieu says his staff is drafting an AI testing, auditing and disclosure bill arguing federal preemption should be a floor, not a ceiling.
- NY Assemblymember Alex Bores distinguishes acceptable preemption (federal standards equal or stronger than state law) from a future ban on state enforcement, which he calls a gag order on AI regulation.
- Lieu adds midterm voters sent a clear message against letting the AI industry run wild.
