WASHINGTON, ​June ​4 (Reuters) - A bipartisan pair of ‌U.S. House lawmakers released draft ⁠legislation on Thursday that ‌would prohibit states ‌from passing laws “targeting artificial intelligence model development,” according ​to copy of the draft.

The draft ⁠legislation, released by Democrat Lori Trahan ​of Massachusetts and Republican Jay Obernolte of ​California, would not ‌bar states from regulating how AI ⁠technology is used, according to the draft.

"We ⁠are releasing this draft to ​hear from stakeholders, experts, and the public so we can ‌strengthen the legislation before it is ‌formally introduced," Obernolte ⁠said in ‌a statement.
