This proposal, again backed by tech billionaires and corporations, seeks to override the will of the American people for common-sense AI safeguards, transfer sole authority to a historically gridlocked and slow-moving Congress, and delete all existing state AI policy to make the wild west AI landscape even more lawless.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>So-called red states and blue states alike have been proactive in addressing the challenges posed by AI. For instance, Tennessee&#8217;s ELVIS Act protects artists from unauthorized AI-generated voice and likeness reproductions. New York&#8217;s AI Bill of Rights aims to ensure transparency and accountability in automated decision-making. In just the 2024 legislative session alone, at least 31 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands adopted AI resolutions or enacted AI legislation. Ultimately these initiatives demonstrate the critical role state-level policies play in safeguarding workers and consumers in the evolving AI landscape.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The proposed federal preemption threatens the jobs of behind-the-scenes entertainment workers and undermines the integrity of the American film, television, animation, gaming, and broader entertainment sectors.
