Federalism doesn’t end with artificial intelligence

For years, conservatives have stood firm in defense of federalism, local control, and limited government. These principles have served as the bedrock of the movement. That’s why it is so important to apply those same ideals to the emerging debate over artificial intelligence.

Some recent legislative proposals, including one backed by Republican leadership in Congress, would prevent states from passing any AI regulations for the next 10 years. A separate plan in the Senate takes a different approach. It would tie federal broadband and AI infrastructure funding to state compliance with federal priorities on AI.
