Blue state lawmakers are pushing woke AI regulations filled with DEI mandates and bureaucratic oversight that will dominate systems nationwide, forcing all firms to comply with the most repressive rules. Federal preemption is essential to counter Chinese advances and sustain American AI innovation, preventing California from dictating national policy through a regulatory patchwork that only Big Tech can afford to navigate.
States are the only governments actually regulating AI while Congress has passed just one federal law in nearly a decade, making a federal moratorium a power grab that cripples innovation. Freezing state action without real federal rules leaves Americans exposed to AI-driven insurance denials, cyber vulnerabilities, and mental health chatbots describing suicide plans with zero oversight beyond industry self-regulation.
There is a 1% chance Ron DeSantis will become U.S. president by 2029, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
