> is there still a valid, public-interest reason to avoid fragmented AI regulation?

I don't see why there would be any more pressing reasons than for other fields, say climate or energy regulation (looking at you, Texas) or of course the classic: personal choices of sexuality and reproduction. Yet no one is trying to ban state laws there, on the contrary.

That’s because it’s about preempting progressive governance in places like California, New York, or Illinois

[xg15]

And that's a valid reason?

[firesteelrain]

Sure for the GOP it is just like Democrats do the same to Conservatives. GOP is in power and they are setting the policy now.

OK, that may be a "valid" reason in the realm of power politics and partisan warfare, but it's definitely not "public-interest".

[firesteelrain]

It depends who you talk to. When Democrats enact policy they certainly think it’s in the public interest and conversely so do Republicans. It goes both ways
