California’s AI Safeguards at Risk in Congress
Federal AI Bill Could Preempt California Laws
A new bill moving through Congress aims to establish nationwide AI regulations, but it may nullify many of California’s stricter consumer protections, which are seen as among the toughest in the U.S.
Implications for Consumer Rights and Innovation
Critics warn the legislation could weaken oversight and accountability, making it harder for Californians to seek recourse over AI-driven harms. Supporters argue the bill would streamline compliance for companies operating across state lines.
