The fight over artificial intelligence regulation has become a battle for America’s future. While our children face real dangers from AI chatbots encouraging suicide and inappropriate sexual conversations, politicians can’t agree on how to protect them. The Trump administration has taken a bold stand with its new AI Action Plan, but liberal states want to pile on more red tape that could crush American innovation.
President Trump’s team released a smart plan in July that puts America first in the AI race. The plan removes harmful regulations that slow down our tech companies while communist China races ahead. Instead of more government control, Trump wants to unleash American ingenuity and let our brilliant engineers build the best AI systems in the world.
But here’s the problem. Liberal states like California and Colorado want to create a patchwork of confusing rules that will tie up our companies in endless paperwork. These same politicians who can’t fix homelessness or crime now think they can micromanage computer code. Their regulations will only help China and other enemies get ahead while American workers lose jobs.
The real solution is simpler than career politicians want to admit. We need basic rules to protect kids from harmful content, not massive bureaucracies that stifle progress. Trump’s plan already requires AI systems to be free from woke bias and ideological nonsense. That’s exactly what hardworking families want, not more government overreach.
States are going crazy with 260 different AI bills this year alone. Most of these proposals come from the same lawmakers who think men can be women and that math is racist. Do we really want these people deciding how smart computers should work? American innovation built the internet, and it will build safe AI too if we get government out of the way.
The choice is clear. We can follow Trump’s plan to make America the AI superpower while protecting our values, or we can let liberal bureaucrats regulate us into irrelevance. Communist China is watching and hoping we choose more red tape over American excellence. Our enemies want us weak and divided on this critical issue.
Every day we delay smart action, more children face AI dangers while our competitors gain ground. Parents are scared because tech companies have been allowed to put profit over protection for too long. We need leadership that understands both innovation and family values, not politicians who think government knows best about everything.
America has always led the world in technology because we believe in freedom and competition. If we stick to conservative principles of limited government and strong families, we can build AI that serves Americans instead of controlling them. The question is whether politicians will get out of the way before it’s too late.
