This is not deregulation. It is hyper-regulation by other means. [...] When consequential decisions are made through executive discretion rather than deliberative process, they escape ordinary channels of accountability. [...] Democratic accountability requires following power where it moves.AI Verified source (2026)

ai_verified: The DOI metadata matches a 2026 Science essay by Alondra Nelson, “The mirage of AI deregulation” (DOI 10.1126/science.aee4900). I could not directly read the Science page because it returned 403, but Nelson’s own LinkedIn post promoting that essay reproduces the quoted wording, including “This is not deregulation. It is hyper-regulation by other means,” the sentence beginning “when consequential decisions are made through executive discretion...,” and “Democratic accountability requires following power where it moves.” The user’s ellipses also correctly omit intervening text.

Quote by Alondra Nelson, 2026. Source is her Science article "The mirage of AI deregulation" (DOI 10.1126/science.aee4900, published Jan 2026). The science.org URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the article is by Nelson (Harold F. Linder Professor, IAS; former Acting OSTP Director) and contains the framing "hyper-regulation by other means" and her argument that "Democratic accountability requires following power where it moves." Author attribution correct. Year 2026 current. Crucially for vote alignment: the article's central thesis is that the federal preemption of state authority to govern AI (Trump's "One Rule"/national framework EO) is itself a concentration of power insulated from local accountability. This directly supports statement 438 ("States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government") — the "for" vote aligns correctly. Quote is relevant and reflects the statement's meaning.
