State response to Federal AI executive order

Remember how a bipartisan group of Texas legislators came forward opposing the Federal Excutive Order concerning federal AI preemption?

Well, there is also a letter from NCSL, the Council on State Governments, the National League of Cities, Conference of Mayors, and the National Association of State CIOs.

This letter states “We urge the President to reconsider this approach and work with states and local governments to build a strong, unified framework. An Intergovernmental AI Working Group would allow us to identify areas where state innovation can inform national policy while respecting states’ rights and leveraging the expertise of state and local leaders.”
