A proposal to deter states from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade was soundly defeated in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, thwarting attempts to insert the measure into President Donald Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts.

The provision, which received a considerable amount of support from Big Tech firms and was championed by Texas Senator Ted Cruz, would have prevented any state that takes funding from a federal broadband fund from passing any legislation that would regulate AI within their borders.
