Should the Federal Government Block State Regulation of AI?

Jeffrey Miron

No.

Much, perhaps all, of this regulation is misguided.

As with most other policies, the federal government should leave states free to make their own mistakes. This provides valuable feedback about the effects of different policies, and it diffuses the polarization and resentment likely to result from imposing one approach on all states.

Federalism is not perfect, but it beats the alternatives.
