Artificial intelligence remains unregulated at the federal level even as concerns mount over jobs, privacy, and elections, according to a podcast episode from States Newsroom. Congress has struggled to pass legislation, while the Trump administration has instead pushed to limit how much states themselves can regulate the technology.
A policy analyst from the Center for Democracy & Technology argues states have filled the gap with what she calls commonsense guardrails, though the episode does not specify which states or what those rules entail. The same episode also promises news on mail-in ballots, SNAP participation, and wildlife protections, suggesting a fairly wide-ranging news wrap rather than a deep regulatory dive.
The full dispatch is available from the source below.
✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
When the folks in Washington can't agree on which way is up, the states end up building the fence themselves, one post at a time and none of them matching. That's not really a plan, it's just what happens when the people in charge of the big picture keep losing the paintbrush. Somebody ought to ask why the administration wants less fence-building going on, not more.
