U .S. Sen. Ted Cruz's plan to block states from creating regulations to limit the potential harm caused by artificial intelligence technology was dropped from the Senate's sprawling budget bill early Tuesday.

U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn and Ted Cruz have agreed on a revised federal moratorium regarding states' abilities to regulate artificial intelligence in the coming years.

The provision, which received a considerable amount of support from Big Tech firms and was championed by Texas Senator Ted Cruz, would have prevented any state that takes funding from a federal broadband fund from passing any legislation that would regulate AI within their borders.
