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.

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."
