RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier Statement on State AI Ban Following US Senate 99-1 Vote

“We applaud Senators Blackburn and Cantwell for their persistent leadership to protect artists and rightsholders – driving a nearly unanimous Senate rejection of a proposed 10-year ban on state-based AI guardrails. Federal and state governments both have a critical role to play in protecting creators while promoting AI innovation. This final vote is a resounding dismissal of the shortsighted, zero-sum game thinking from some tech companies and signifies a widespread recognition that respect for human creativity does not impede winning the AI race, but instead is essential to its success.”
