Processing the AI fight ahead
Florida lawmakers are set to discuss AI regulations during a special session, with the state Senate having previously passed guardrails on AI with Democratic support. Governor Ron DeSantis wants lawmakers to revisit the regulations, known as the 'AI Bill of Rights', despite Speaker Daniel Perez's initial hesitation.
Florida lawmakers will discuss AI regulations during a special session, with Governor Ron DeSantis pushing for the reconsideration of guardrails on AI previously passed by the state Senate. The 'AI Bill of Rights' aims to give parents more control over their children's interactions with chatbots and notify them of discussions about harming themselves or others. Speaker Daniel Perez had initially expressed hesitation, citing national security concerns that the federal government is better equipped to address. Perez's stance appears to align with the White House, as President Donald Trump signed an executive order empowering federal agencies to challenge state AI restrictions. The order calls for federal AI rules to be 'minimally burdensome' to allow the technology to develop quickly. The discussion comes as the state Senate passed the AI regulations with Democratic support during the regular session.
