Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Meta comes together to fight US State government’s AI restrictions

The world’s largest technology companies, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Meta are lobbying for a decade-long federal moratorium blocking individual states from regulating artificial intelligence, a controversial move that has divided both the AI industry and the Republican Party.

Lobbyists representing these four companies are urging the Senate to enact the 10-year ban on state-level AI legislation, according to sources familiar with the effort. The provision was already included in the House version of President Donald Trump’s budget bill that passed last month, with the Senate expected to unveil its version this week ahead of a July 4 deadline.
