Utah GOP challenger backs state AI rules vs. Trump’s deregulation push

In Utah’s GOP primary, Fiefia, a Republican candidate, argues for state-level AI regulation and challenges Donald Trump’s push for zero rules. He highlights Utah’s AI measure that passed a House committee but died in the Senate, and notes that fellow Republicans in other states are pursuing but often stalling such bills. As a co-chair of the Future Caucus AI task force, he contends state-led oversight is needed to balance innovation with safety, while incumbent Daniel McKay remains skeptical of broad AI regulation.
