Comment by Daniel Castro
Director, Center for Data Innovation
The United States cannot remain competitive if developers, businesses, and users face fifty different legal regimes governing a general-purpose technology. [...] Congress should take this recommendation seriously and establish a light-touch national framework that preserves room for states to enforce generally applicable laws while preventing a patchwork of conflicting AI rules.

Checked all dimensions. Year: 2026 (current; article dated 20 Mar 2026). Author: Daniel Castro, Director of the Center for Data Innovation — quote is consistent with his long-running advocacy for federal preemption of state AI laws. Vote alignment: statement "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government" with an "against" vote is correct — Castro explicitly argues the US cannot stay competitive under "fifty different legal regimes" and calls for a "light-touch national framework" that prevents a "patchwork of conflicting AI rules," i.e., he opposes states setting their own stricter standards. Source: direct fetch of datainnovation.org returns HTTP 403 to automated requests, but an independent web search confirmed both quoted passages verbatim on this exact datainnovation.org article ("White House Gives Congress the Right Blueprint for AI Policy," Mar 2026), confirming the source contains the quote.
