The Big, Beautiful Bill is a large-scale reform bill promoted by President Trump, which includes a wide range of provisions such as spending cuts, tax cuts, and raising the debt ceiling. Although five Republican members of the House of Representatives voted against it , it passed on May 22, 2025, with a narrow margin of 215 votes in favor, 214 votes against, and one abstention.
The Big and Beautiful Bill includes a provision that prohibits states and local governments from regulating AI models, AI systems, and automated decision systems for 10 years . In the United States, several states, including California, are discussing AI regulation proposals , but if the Big and Beautiful Bill is passed, state-specific regulations could be abolished.
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 output to substantially influence or replace human decision-making,' which could lead to broad interpretations of the phrase 'automated decision-making system.'
'President Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill 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,' the White House said in a statement.

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