The Tennessee General Assembly passed a bill authorizing a study on training artificial intelligence to encourage suicide or homicide, after initially considering making it a felony. Lawmakers also debated and passed bills related to school choice and immigration.
The Tennessee General Assembly concluded its final day with debates on school choice and artificial intelligence. An effort to expand Education Savings Accounts was thwarted, but the original bill's testing provision passed. Lawmakers agreed to expand Education Freedom Scholarships from 20,000 to 35,000. A bill related to artificial intelligence was amended to authorize a study on training AI to encourage suicide or homicide, rather than making it a felony. The General Assembly also passed several immigration-related bills, including one allowing drivers from other countries to obtain a three-year temporary driver's license. Governor Bill Lee signed a bill creating a misdemeanor offense for individuals with a final deportation order who do not leave the state within 90 days.
