Trump's opposition killed Florida's AI Bill of Rights legislation and split Republicans in the state legislature, the New York Times reported.

The bill would have established consumer protections around AI-generated content, algorithmic bias, and automated decision-making. Trump's team intervened to block the legislation, arguing that state-level AI regulation would hamper American competitiveness.

The episode highlights the tension between state-level consumer protection and the federal government's preference for minimal AI regulation.
