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; children, in particular, are left incredibly vulnerable, to garbage like this: [...] As I put it in earlier today on X, re 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.AI Verified source (2025-11-19)

I confirmed the quote on the provided Substack page.

The stored author, date, source URL, and quote content match the source closely enough to count as verbatim with allowed omission.

Disputed: I found the underlying passage attributed to Gary Marcus, but not in the cited URL. The supplied URL is a different Substack post, "Is the White House’s AI Policy Coherent?" dated December 9, 2025, and it does not contain this text. The closest match is Marcus’s Substack post "Mayday: The White House is attempting to circumvent Congress and crush the rights of individual states to regulate AI" dated November 19, 2025. That post has materially different wording/punctuation: after "Federal response to AI" it continues with an added clause rather than ending the sentence, and the second sentence is introduced with wording equivalent to "As I put it ... re," so the submitted quote is an edited stitch, not a verbatim quotation.

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.
