New efforts this week in Washington to effectively ban individual states from governing artificial intelligence have provoked bipartisan backlash.

The push from House Republicans and the White House to assert federal control over AI regulation, which echoes a similar attempt over the summer, has forged new lines of agreement between far-right commentators and progressive activists.

“It’s a coalition of almost everyone against a few extreme tech billionaires who are trying to buy unfettered power,” said New York State Assembly Member Alex Bores, a proponent of states’ ability to govern AI and a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House. “States protecting our citizens is overwhelmingly popular and bipartisan.”

A new poll released Friday night, conducted by YouGov in partnership with the conservative-leaning Institute for Family Studies, found that surveyed adults opposed congressional pre-emption efforts on AI by a 3-to-1 margin.

2. The powers that be, most of them, don't really have a firm grasp on what AI truly consists of, it's so new, so embryotic

so undefined in all of its shapes, sizes, and/or colors/dimensions, so how are they going to tailor/taylor language within a bill to regulate it? Take it from an IT guy from day 1 on when data came onto the floor decades and decades ago, and no one know what data was. The same is true for AI and all of it's iterations, some of which are still unknown I suspect even today...
