Senator Maroney Opposes Trump’s Draft Order Targeting State AI Laws

Today, state Senator James Maroney (D-Milford) is releasing a statement in response to the Trump administration drafting an executive order that would direct the Justice Department to sue states that pass laws regulating artificial intelligence.

“It is outrageous that the federal government is going to prevent us from defending our residents online and once again putting the profits of big tech ahead of the people of Connecticut. We won’t back down from doing what’s right, no matter who tries to stand in the way. This upcoming legislative session I intend to introduce Artificial Intelligence legislation to ensure Connecticut residents are protected online and that technology is developed and used responsibly.“
