US House Passes 10-Year Moratorium on State AI Laws

“Costly, contradictory regulation is a surefire recipe for destroying a technological revolution and decimating little tech innovators,” Adam Thierer, a senior fellow at the R Street Institute, testified at the House subcommittee hearing Wednesday. “An AI moratorium offers a smart way to address this problem by granting innovators some breathing space and helping ensure a robust national AI marketplace develops.” Thierer proposed the idea of a moratorium in a post on R Street’s website last year.
