AI regulation in peril: Navigating uncertain times


Unified efforts are essential to ensure that AI development remains ethical, safe and beneficial for society.

In overturning a precedent dating back forty years known as “ Chevron deference,” the court decision shifts the power to interpret ambiguous laws passed by Congress from federal agencies to the judiciary. As by the New Lines Institute: “This change [to invalidate Chevron deference] means agencies must somehow develop arguments that involve complex technical details yet are sufficiently persuasive to an audience unfamiliar with the field to justify every regulation they impose.” In lieu of the current executive order, the platform adds: “In its place, Republicans support AI development rooted in free speech and human flourishing.” New reporting from the Washington Post cites an effort led by allies of former president Donald Trump to create a new framework that would, among other things, “make America first in AI.” That could include reduced regulations as the platform states an intention to “cut costly and burdensome regulations,” especially those in their view that “stifle jobs, freedom, innovation and make everything more expensive.”
