The US Senate has a controversial attempt to prevent US states from setting laws to put in operation of artificial intelligence, in a setback for the leaders of the ‘Silicon Valley’ and the White House officials who tried to approve the procedure. The members of the council today voted in an early hours with a majority of 99 votes for one vote in favor of removing this article from the important tax law for President Donald Trump, during a marathon mood that lasted all night. The overwhelming rejection came despite the fact that the freezing point of the state’s ability to organize artificial intelligence has great support from the allies of the Republican Party in the Silicon Valley and White House technology consultants, Michael Kratsius and David Sachs. Supporting major technology companies This procedure was the pinnacle of the priority of major technological companies such as “Microsoft” and “Meta”, as well as daring capital companies such as “Andrink Horwitz”, which support other important technological enterprises. The insertion of the item also supported Trump’s allies in the Silicon Valley, including businessman Mark Andrienn, Balm Laki, founder of Andoril Endrierez Defense Technology, and Joe Lansel, co -founder of the company “Paltmeter Technologies”. Senator Marsha Blackburn, from the state of Tennessee, which includes the city of Nashville, the headquarters of the music industry, has led to remove the item. She expressed the fear that the procedure would hinder the “Elvis” law that applies its mandate and prohibit the use of artificial intelligence from simulating the artists’ voices without their consent. The article will prevent the states from issuing laws related to artificial intelligence if they receive funding for technological infrastructure from a federal program worth $ 500 million. Before voting, Senator Ted Cruz expressed his dissatisfaction with the collapse of a settlement he reached with Blackburn to keep a copy of a limited scope of the article in the bill. Although he is one of the most prominent supporters of the state’s authority to issue artificial intelligence legislation, she later voted in favor of its removal. The Minister of Trade also supported the item and described it as essential for national security and a step to eliminate the efforts of the democratic majority states to the universal legislation of artificial intelligence. Trump has not announced his support for the object in public, despite the efforts of supporters to force him to issue a support statement. The protection of citizens against the risks of artificial intelligence, states across the country, dozens of new laws aimed at protecting Americans from the risks of artificial intelligence, such as the use of “deep forgery” technology without consent and violations of publication rights and algorithms. More than 1,000 artificial intelligence laws have been filed at the state level. At the same time, Congress has not yet approved comprehensive regulatory rules. Item -Assistants celebrated the vote today, Tuesday, which praised the role of Blackburn to abort the procedure. “Freezing would threaten the laws of children’s safety on the Internet, the procedures for protecting the rights of artists and producers, and a group of consumer protection and technological transparency measures, and all without any federal alternative,” says Brad Carson, president of the American Association for Innovation, which is a safety group involved in the risks of artificial intelligence. He added: “Let it be a lesson for the congress -the freezing point of the state -level artificial intelligence laws without a serious alternative to a political failure.” Technology companies will continue to pressure, and despite the voting of the Senate, technology companies are likely to continue to reduce the ability of states to organize artificial intelligence. The broad support that the item initially received shows that the Centers of the Republican Party forces strongly support to make the demands of artificial intelligence to shrink organizational interference in the sector. Senator Tom Teleles, of North Carolina, who announced his intention on Sunday to retire from the Senate, was the only one to voted in favor of maintaining the article in the bill.

While US President Donald Trump has waved export restrictions on technology as a print card to withdraw the rare land elements from Beijing, China judges its capabilities without the most advanced US conductors. During a journey organized by the government this month to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, one of the richest Chinese provinces that bore the leading artificial intelligence business “Deepseek”, the authorities set up a number of technological companies managers to meet two “Bloomberg” journalists and other media. The message was ultimately a challenge message: The Chinese technological sector is still aimed at world domination despite US restrictions. The Chinese self -sufficiency of the chips is one of the examples of the “Magiclab Robotics Technology Co”, founded more than one year ago in the eastern city of Sozhou. President Wu Zhang Cheng said she has independently developed more than 90% of the parts she uses to make human robots. As for the rest of the parts, it includes semiconductors and flour controllers locally or abroad, adding that they do not use American chips. While assessing a robot of the human size intended to work in factories, Wu said: “China does not have many weaknesses in this industry.” He added that his robots only need “standard discs, showing his indifference to the latest Trump ban to perform US businesses. Biological pharmaceutical preparations, human robots, artificial intelligence and cars, are all centralized sectors for President Xi Jinping in the manufacturing field. To innovate despite the limited chips, but Beijing still has trouble catching up the United States to achieve the most advanced “Nvidia” connections. Take the extensive talents, the supply chain of the external world. This is a political goal for Chinese decision makers a long time ago, with economic reality. “Nevertheless, despite all the sophistications exposed to the United States. Life -saving treatment for cancer: “The influence on funding is great … I tell my team not to keep asking at the end of this winter. We should consider that this winter is the entire four seasons, and adapt to the extensive uncertainty. “

In addition to the restructured team, Zuckerberg has announced 11 new appointments in the field of artificial intelligence, including former researchers in ‘Oben Ai’, ‘Google’ and ‘AnthRouble’. The new team contains prominent names such as Jacques Ray and son of Deepmind, Jia Hui Yu, Shu Chao B, Shingjia Zhao, Hongio Rin, of “Oben Ai”, and Joel Popar of “Anthropic”, who previously worked for “Mita” for more than a decade. Bloomberg revealed some of these appointments in previous reports.
