A Utah state representative is advocating for state-level AI regulation, contradicting President Trump's push for a national standard. Doug Fiefia, a former Google employee, is running for state senate and has made AI regulation a key part of his campaign. The White House has issued an executive order and released a framework to preempt state laws considered 'too burdensome.' Over 1,000 state legislative proposals addressing AI have been introduced, reflecting widespread unease about the technology. Many proposals focus on issues like child safety and nonconsensual pornography. A Quinnipiac poll found 8 in 10 Americans are concerned about AI, with most wanting more government regulation.
