Americans for Responsible Innovation president
After witnessing the harmful impact of the tech industry's move-fast-break-things mantra during the rise of social media platforms, the public wants safeguards now. What's most disturbing is that the framework recommends both banning state laws on AI and urges Congress not to create new 'open-ended' liability for the AI industry when it comes to child harms. For the AI industry, that means open season on the American public.

AI Verified The quote clearly opposes banning state AI laws, calling that recommendation "most disturbing." That implies support for states keeping authority to enact their own, potentially stricter, AI safety rules rather than being preempted by the federal government. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago

AI Verified Verified. The quoted text appears verbatim in the cited Route Fifty article published March 23, 2026, and it is explicitly attributed to “ARI President Brad Carson.” ARI’s own March 20, 2026 statement also attributes the same remarks to Brad Carson, with one additional sentence inserted between the first and second sentences, which supports the attribution and context.

AI Verified Verified. The quote ("After witnessing the harmful impact of the tech industry's move-fast-break-things mantra during the rise of social media platforms, the public wants safeguards now... open season on the American public") is confirmed verbatim as Brad Carson's (Americans for Responsible Innovation president) reaction to the White House National AI Policy Framework, March 2026. WebFetch on the route-fifty.com source returned HTTP 403, but web search confirmed the verbatim opening of the quote via Nextgov/FCW (article 412274), which is the GovExec sister publication of Route Fifty running the same article (412300). Author attribution correct. Year 2026 current. Vote alignment: the "for" vote on "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government" aligns directly — Carson criticizes the framework specifically for recommending banning state laws on AI, i.e., he supports states' right to set stricter standards. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 29d ago
