There are not many issues on which U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Rome, disagree with Republican President Donald Trump — but artificial intelligence appears to be one of them.
On Wednesday evening, Trump opposed state regulation of AI while speaking at a conference in Washington, D.C. Both Blackburn and Greene support such regulation.
“We also have to have a single federal standard, not 50 different states regulating this industry of the future,” Trump said to a room of AI industry folks. “You can’t have a state with standards that are so high that it’s gonna hold you up. You have to have a federal rule and regulation. Hopefully, you have the right guy in this position that’s gonna supplant the states.”

Trump wants America to win the “AI race,” he said, and state regulation would stand in the way.
