- Congress is considering a 10-year moratorium on state and local AI laws to prevent regulatory fragmentation.
- Inconsistent state AI regulations could increase compliance costs and hinder IT modernization across federal agencies.
- The federal government relies on commercial off-the-shelf technologies for system modernization in various departments.
- A moratorium would allow Congress to establish a unified national framework while promoting $500 million in federal IT investments.
- Without a cohesive approach, the U.S. risks losing its competitive edge in innovation, service delivery, and national security.
