The CPPA is grateful to stand alongside @AGRobBonta and other AGs throughout the US in opposition to the 10-year ban on state AI regulation.
We’re urging the Senate remove a provision placing a 10-year ban on states enforcing any state law addressing AI. State privacy regulators are sounding the alarm: a decade-long ban on state AI regulation endangers the rights and protections of millions of consumers.
