American politicians are at it again. This time they're trying to sneak a 10 year moratorium on AI regulation into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2026. The only reason they'll reject it is if 1) they're made aware of it, and 2) their constituents contact them to tell them to oppose it.

Where is that "Pause" button?

The EU is about to issue a delay for implementing a few key parts of its "high-risk" AI rules. Originally slated to go live in August 2026, the EU is considering a proposal to delay implementation for at least one year.

Critics had demanded a delay, arguing the technical standards that companies could rely on to comply with the high-risk AI requirements were not ready by a summer deadline. https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-to-propose-delay-of-key-part-of-landmark-ai-law-by-one-year/ #AI #EU #AIRisk #AIRegulation #AIAct #Europe

"The Trump administration is drafting an executive order that would direct the Justice Department to sue states that pass laws regulating artificial intelligence, according to a copy reviewed by The Washington Post and confirmed by a person familiar with the White House effort, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions. But the proposal could conflict with legal limits to presidential power.

The proposed executive order comes after a split among Senate Republicans in July killed a proposal backed by the White House to block all state AI regulation, as part of President Donald Trump’s signature tax and immigration law. It foundered after pushback from lawmakers concerned about the need to protect Americans from potential harms caused by AI. The White House declined to comment for this article.

Worries over the technology’s impact on jobs, potential harms to children and increased electricity prices due to energy consumption by data centers that power AI software are becoming major political issues for lawmakers in both parties. Pew Research Center found in a June survey that 50 percent of Americans are more concerned than excited about increased use of AI in daily life.

The Republican Party has traditionally been vocal about limits to federal power over states, as defined in the U.S. Constitution. If signed by Trump, the draft executive order would escalate his efforts to force states into line with his priorities during his second term."
