Feds, Not States, Must Regulate AI for America to Compete (NH Journal and Syndicated)

“The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing,” famously said Stephen Covey, the renowned organizational consultant.

With AI legislation, what matters most is common sense. That means first not killing, or stagnating, the benefits of AI from 50 states’ cumbersome and contradictory laws regarding AI model development and how it runs. Accompanying this should be related sensible federal guidelines.

If we had a bunch of states regulating the production of innovations like steel, electricity and the automobile, as some are trying to do now with AI model development, those technologies would, at best, have taken many more years to come to fruition. We might still be riding horses over wooden bridges with lanterns.
