Comment by Gary Marcus
Professor of Psychology and Neural Science
A moratorium on Statewise regulation of AI was and is, a terrible idea, especially in a world in which there is no coherent Federal response to AI. [...] A call for federal AI standards in lieu of state standards only makes sense if there are (sensible) federal standards, but Congress has not put anything serious forward to a vote.

Quote attributed to Gary Marcus (2026) about a moratorium on statewise AI regulation being "a terrible idea." The source_url (garymarcus.substack.com/p/is-the-white-houses-ai-policy-coherent) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search returned the exact quote text verbatim and confirmed it originates from that article. The position is fully consistent with Marcus's documented, repeated public stance opposing federal preemption of state AI laws (also seen in his other Substack posts). Year 2026 is current. Vote "for" on "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government" correctly aligns — Marcus opposes the moratorium and supports states' regulatory rights. Verified.
