Tech Roundup Episode 27 - AI on the Senate Floor: Is it Time for a Moratorium?

The Federalist Society's Regulatory Transparency Project presents a podcast discussing AI preemption, featuring legal and tech experts Dr. Scott Babwah Brennen, Kevin Frazier, and Adam Thierer. The discussion centers on a proposed 10-year moratorium on state AI regulations, included in HR1, and its implications for interstate commerce and innovation. The speakers debate the balance between federal oversight and state experimentation in AI regulation, the potential for a "patchwork" of conflicting state laws, and the role of voluntary compliance standards. They also touch on the impact of regulation on innovation, the importance of considering values beyond innovation, and the institutional capacity for effective AI regulation. The discussion concludes with considerations of potential Senate actions regarding the moratorium and future legislative developments.
