Marjorie Taylor Greene Regrets Voting for the Reconciliation Bill Without Reading Its AI Provision

The provision in the House reconciliation bill would block states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next decade. But there’s a growing chorus of opponents.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Tuesday that she regrets voting to pass House Republicans’ reconciliation bill over a provision that prevents states from regulating the use of artificial intelligence.

“I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there,” Greene wrote on X. “When the OBBB comes back to the House for approval after Senate changes, I will not vote for it with this in it.”

The conservative lawmaker, whose office did not respond to a request for comment, said she was unaware of its inclusion in the legislation, and said she was against it because it stripped back states’ power. Other Republican lawmakers have expressed similar concerns, including senators who are still considering the reconciliation bill on their side of the Capitol.
