In this episode, we unpack the U.S. House proposal to impose a 10-year moratorium on state-level AI legislation, centralizing regulatory power at the federal level. This controversial move has triggered bipartisan backlash and fierce debate over consumer protections, with more than 40 state attorneys general voicing opposition. We examine what this could mean for the future of AI governance, how it could affect companies like Amazon and OpenAI, and the broader implications for state innovation and oversight in AI deployment.

In this episode, we explore the landmark TAKE IT DOWN Act, the first federal legislation targeting AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), also known as deepfake content. With sweeping bipartisan support, the bill criminalizes NCII distribution, mandates rapid takedown on social platforms, and strengthens protections for victims. We also dive into President Trump’s new executive order on AI education, detailing initiatives to integrate AI literacy in K-12 schools, launch national competitions, and boost workforce readiness. These moves signal a growing federal response to both the dangers and opportunities of artificial intelligence.
