The 'Big, Beautiful Act' is a massive reform bill promoted by President Trump, and includes a wide range of provisions, including spending cuts, tax cuts, and raising the debt ceiling. Despite five Republican members of the House of Representatives voting against it , it passed by a narrow margin of 215 votes in favor, 214 against, and one abstention on May 22, 2025.
The Big, Beautiful Bill includes a provision that would prohibit states and local governments from regulating AI models, AI systems, and automated decision-making systems for 10 years . While several states, including California, are currently discussing AI regulation , the passage of the Big, Beautiful Bill could eliminate state-specific regulations.
The bill also defines an 'automated decision-making system' as 'a system derived from machine learning, statistical modeling, data analytics, or AI that issues abbreviated outputs to substantially influence or replace human decision-making.' Therefore, depending on how the phrase 'automated decision-making system' is interpreted, the scope of the prohibited rules may be broad.
The White House issued a statement saying, 'President Trump's Big, Beautiful Act is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enshrine America First policies of prosperity, opportunity, and security into law, and its passage in the House of Representatives brings us one step closer to that goal.'

OpenAI has argued that 'regulations should be reduced to win the AI technology development race with China,' and has recommended that the US government reduce regulations . Also, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman argued in May 2023 that 'government regulatory intervention is necessary to minimize the harm of AI,' but in May 2025, he expressed opposition to AI regulation at a congressional hearing.
