Laura Lin was quoted in an article by The Register titled, “U.S. Budget Bill Passes Without Controversial Block on States Regulating AI.” The article discusses the recent passing of the budget reconciliation bill without a provision blocking state-level AI regulation.

The tech industry will likely keep pushing for federal AI legislation.”
