Summary:
Le Sénat a permis l’inclusion d’un moratoire de 10 ans sur l’application des lois locales et étatiques sur l’intelligence artificielle dans un projet de loi majeur, suscitant des divergences au sein des républicains. Le président du Comité du Commerce, Ted Cruz, a reformulé cette mesure pour la rendre conforme aux règles budgétaires, affirmant qu’elle éviterait une « labyrinthique » réglementation. Cependant, plusieurs sénateurs conservateurs s’y opposent, menaçant d’amender le projet de loi si ce moratoire est maintenu.

The Senate’s rules referee late Saturday allowed Republicans to include in their megabill a 10-year moratorium on enforcing state and local artificial intelligence laws — a surprising result for the provision that’s split the GOP.
Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz (R-Texas) rewrote a House-passed AI moratorium to try to comply with the chamber’s budgetary rules. His version made upholding the moratorium a condition for receiving billions in federal broadband expansion funds. Both parties made their arguments before the parliamentarian Thursday.
“It’s good policy,” Cruz said of the moratorium in a recent interview.
Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.) has also defended the provision, saying it’s necessary to avoid a “labyrinth of regulation” with “50 different states going 50 different directions on the topic of AI regulation.”
Though the parliamentarian delivered a victory for Republicans, a number of conservative senators including Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.) and Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), have vocally opposed the provision.
Hawley has vowed to work with Democrats on an amendment to remove the language once the megabill hits the floor.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and the House Freedom Caucus have also opposed the AI moratorium, with Greene threatening to oppose the megabill H.R. 1 (119) if the legal freeze remains.
