Where in the Constitution does it delegate authority over AI to the federal government? Just curious.
- dosisking 4mo ago[flagged]
- yesfitz 4mo agoProbably the Commerce Clause. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause
- ljlolel 4mo agoSo then wouldn’t cover open source
- lokar 4mo agothey often argue that allowing something in one state, even limited to that state, impacts commerce in other states. I think they would use a similar argument here.
- pfdietz 4mo agoYes, AI regulation is squarely in the wheelhouse of the Commerce Clause.

- gopher_space 4mo agoI don't think we've found any topic or situation that doesn't fall under the Commerce Clause.
- iAMkenough 4mo agoIf there is such a topic or situation, we can always fall back to the "national security" rationale. That covers everything else the federal government wants to impose on states.
- pfdietz 4mo agoThis one seems more well founded than some. AI by companies is commerce, no? And uniform regulation of commerce is under the clause.
- tristanj 4mo agoIt's covered by the interstate commerce clause.
- dh2022 4mo agoHow does the inter states commerce clause block a state from blocking data center buildout?
- tootie 4mo agoIt's perfectly reasonable to want one set of rules instead of a patchwork across very open borders. But just saying "you can't do it" is pretty lame compared to actually coming up with sensible rules first.
- toast0 4mo agoMy understanding is that courts usually require actual constitutional federal regulations to exist for Federal Supremecy to apply. But this is just cooercive regulation through barely related funding. I believe that's generally legally acceptable.
- CamperBob2 4mo agoAnd you expect the current Federal government to come up with "sensible rules?"
- chris_money202 4mo agoCongress is allowed to make laws (covered by the constitution) if that law grants the federal government the authority over something then the law is covered by the constitution.
