HILL STAFF VIEWS: Most Congressional Aides Want Fed/State Mix of AI Regs
(QUICK READ) — A strong majority, 57 percent, of congressional aides responding to a recent CNCT Capitol Pulse survey support a reasonable combination of federal and state regulations on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The backing for such a regulatory mix comes at a time President Donald Trump is pushing for a measure excluding all but certain federal regulators from having a say in how the exploding AI market is allowed to develop.
The majority support for keeping state authorities in the regulatory mix was consistent across party, gender, age and positions. On the party results, 57.5 percent of the GOP aides and 57 percent of the Democratic aides expressed support for the mix. When was the last time GOP and Dem aides were so closely aligned on anything???
Support for the mix was expressed by 77 percent of the GOP women (the highest percentage of any of the multiple classifications in the survey), while 64 percent of the Democratic men did so.
Only 37 percent of the respondents backed the Trump approach of having only federal regulation of AI, while two other little-discussed approaches — having exclusively state-level regulation and regulation by presidential executive orders — each drew only three percent backing in the survey.
