This really should be regulated by the Federal Government level (FTC, NIST, etc) to ensure uniformity and some of California’s laws could be used as a model. Since AI represents a strategic economic and security frontier, putting a ban on states laws would allow the technology to innovate freely without having to navigate a patchwork of state laws. Finally, GOP actually favors limited government and deregulation so this doesn’t conflict with States rights concerns brought up in this thread.
One thing to note is that this may also be a way to block progressive policies before they end up in the Federal government. Putting a ten year ban would effectively do that.
- tyleo 1y ago> Finally, GOP actually favors limited government and deregulation This feels like a weak argument these days. It can be trivially played both ways, “GOP actually favors limited government, look at abortion,” vs “GOP actually favors powerful government, look at immigration crackdown” There isn’t consistency on this one way or the other. I don’t think there needs to be but we shouldn’t pretend that there is for the sake of argument.
- firesteelrain 1y agoYou’re right, limited government is a throwback to a Reaganesque political identity that doesn’t map to real practice. But both parties are like this - it’s not just Republicans. It’s all about who gets power? who gets protection? who gets punished?
