Comment by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld

Broad state preemption, in the form of presidential executive authority and the failed congressional moratorium, trades real protection against demonstrable harms, such as deepfake-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM), AI-driven election fraud, and automated hiring discrimination, for the illusion of federal uniformity. [...] State law on AI-generated CSAM is necessary and preempting it leaves a real gap that the order's carve-outs only partially close.Disputed source (2026)

The Fortune article at the supplied URL contains these two sentences verbatim with omitted intervening text, and the page is dated 2026-05-15. However, the byline is shared by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, Gary Marcus, and Stephen Henriques, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author Jeffrey Sonnenfeld quote.

The quoted text is real and appears verbatim in the Fortune article dated May 15, 2026: the first sentence appears at line 108 and the second at line 156, with the ellipsis standing in for omitted intervening text. However, the article is credited to Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, Gary Marcus, and Stephen Henriques, so attributing the quote solely to Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is incomplete/misattributed.

Quote confirmed via web search of the Fortune article (May 15, 2026, "The U.S. has 1,200 AI bills and no good test for any of them"). The source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but the distinctive passage "Broad state preemption... trades real protection against demonstrable harms, such as deepfake-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM), AI-driven election fraud, and automated hiring discrimination, for the illusion of federal uniformity" was corroborated verbatim. Author attribution correct: the article is co-authored by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld (Yale CELI) and Gary Marcus (URL slug "sonnenfeld-marcus"). Year 2026 correct. Vote "for" correctly aligns with statement "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government" — the quote argues against broad federal preemption and explicitly states "State law on AI-generated CSAM is necessary."
