As Vice President JD Vance leaves Paris After urging Europe to reduce regulations and promote innovation of AI, that effort is already in danger. A series of silent maneuvers of the Biden Administration, the main technology holders and a non -profit organization financed by the government called the Fusta of the Privacy Forum (FPF) threaten to impose regulations for radiant in US states, even after President Donald Trump revoked the restrictive framework of the previous administration.
On January 23, Trump signed Executive Order 14179, “eliminating barriers to American leadership in artificial intelligence “, Replace the Biden command and control approach with a pro-initiation mandate to defend the United States’ leadership against rivals as China. But the remains of the former policy survive in non -profit organizations such as FPF, which are occupied writing state invoices that reflect the agenda of President Joe Biden.
Public records confirm FPF was forced to almost $ 5 million of federal agencies throughout the fiscal year 2014 and 25 under Biden. Last year, the FPF website promoted those subsidies such as that they support the “White House Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence”, since FPF eliminated the reference, but the federal subsidy database still links money with that directive now missing.

Several states, with sponsors connected to FPF, including Texas, Virginia, Connecticut and Colorado, have introduced almost identical invoices with diffuse concepts such as “algorithmic discrimination” and “high risk” systems. These vague rules provide regulators with broad discretion, deterring not only new companies, but also to high growth technology companies that cannot divert precious resources for compliance.

Risk capitalist Marc Andreessen, newcomer from meetings with Biden, He described the vision of the former president as “the most alarming” that has been found, full of the notion that a new regulatory regime can and should micrognition cutting -edge technology. Progressive activists have prepared for a long time for this: the left spent years building “security” NGOs ready to embed in new agencies, believing that they only know how to direct the “responsibly” AI. The right, on the other hand, never prepared regulators to defend market freedom. This imbalance means that any new regulatory body would probably be treated by those anxious to expand the power of the government.

This planning pathology reflects the wrong idea that new and evolving systems require centralized supervision. But Hayek’s “problem of knowledge” reminds us that no central authority can add and process the dispersed information necessary to govern a complex and changing system efficiently. Therefore, sweep tickets loaded with ambiguous mandates open the door to chrononism, which helps wealthy headlines navigate the bureaucracy while smaller innovators are marginalized.
Even if a bill exempts certain new companies, compliance is effectively consolidated by the status quo: technological giants enjoy a legally Bulleta advantage. In the words of the famous economist of the University of Chicago, George Stigler, “the regulation is acquired by the industry and is designed and operated mainly for its benefit.”
The proponents claim that these measures address “algorithmic damage”, but genuine damage (defamation, fraud, revenge porn) are already illegal. States can easily update criminal codes to address problems such as synthetic sexual images without creating whole bureaucracks. Legislators in places like Texas would do better to pay attention to their own instincts for a small government and avoid duplicating the rules of the hard hand biden.

If these bills continue to proliferate, the United States runs the risk of a Balcanized regulatory mined field in which the great technology benefits ironically. On the other hand, we need minimal interventions, if any, instead of broad frames designed under a discredited federal policy. Our global competitiveness in AI and the vitality of our business ecosystem hang in balance.
States must resist the temptation to create new offices for leftist bureaucrats and activists, so that they do not harass builders who can deliver a golden age of American innovation.
