Maryland Governor Wes Moore is leading a bipartisan effort among U.S. governors to address the challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI), criticizing the federal government’s lack of action. Moore, a Democrat, expressed disappointment with President Donald Trump’s recent meeting with AI executives, which he described as a “billionaire boys club,” and criticized Congress for not addressing AI issues before the midterm elections. As chair of the National Governors Association, Moore is collaborating with Republican Governor Mike Braun of Indiana to create an AI framework, with participation from governors across party lines. While some states have taken steps to regulate AI, federal action remains limited. Trump has downplayed AI concerns, focusing instead on competition with China and signing a voluntary accord with tech leaders. Moore argues that state-level initiatives are necessary due to federal inaction.
