Officially: Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act
Large AI data centers could not be built or upgraded in the United States for now. Congress would have to pass new AI safety, job, local approval, and labor rules before the pause ends. The bill would also limit exports of key AI computer hardware to countries without similar safeguards.
