US faces incoherent AI policy with 1200 bills
the us has roughly 1200 ai bills in play but lacks a coherent framework, risking a chaotic patchwork of regulations that few defend.
gary marcus, alongside jeffrey sonnenfeld and stephen henriques, critiqued the fragmentation of us ai governance in a new fortune essay. they highlighted that legislators have introduced approximately 1200 bills, enacting 150, resulting in a disjointed regulatory landscape without a central design. this absence of a cohesive framework creates uncertainty for both businesses and consumers. the authors argue for a structured approach to ensure legislators address core issues correctly before the current patchwork solidifies into permanent, unmanageable policy.
