I'm disappointed [the Big Beautiful Bill] didn't include a proposed moratorium on U.S. state-level AI regulation. While there is a role for AI regulation, it is when the technology is new and poorly understood that lobbyists are most likely to succeed at pushing through anti-competitive regulations that hamper open-source and other beneficial AI efforts. [...] A moratorium on state-level regulation would have been a net benefit to AI and to society. Unverified source (2026)
