AUGUSTA – On Friday, 39 Maine state lawmakers signed onto a letter spearheaded by Rep. Amy Kuhn, D-Falmouth, urging Sen. Susan Collins to reject a provision in the reconciliation bill currently moving through Congress that would prohibit states from regulating artificial intelligence (AI) for the next 10 years.
