The Trump administration circulated—and then put on hold—a draft executive order aimed at preempting state laws regulating artificial intelligence. The order would have directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to create a task force specifically for challenging state AI laws and directed the Department of Commerce to review state laws and issue guidelines providing for the withholding of federal broadband funding in some cases.
Earlier this year the U.S. Senate nearly unanimously rejected a legislative effort to deny states with AI regulations access to broadband funding. But Republicans in Congress are now considering adding a similar provision to the National Defense Authorization Act. (REUTERS)
The New Jersey Senate Commerce Committee advanced legislation (AB 4101 and SB 3017) that would require social media companies to provide a 24-hour hotline for residents to report fraudulent activity on their accounts, such as hacking. Companies that failed to comply with the law would be subject to a $10,000 fine for a first offense and a $20,000 fine for subsequent offenses. The Assembly passed its version of the measure in February. (NEW JERSEY MONITOR)
