Dean Ball: the state AI law patchwork is now a real risk, not just a meme
deanwball · x · 2026-10-29
Dean Ball endorses a notable walk-back: skeptics used to mock worries about state AI laws as 'regulatory doom' when existing state laws were light-touch and harmonized. Now states are about to pass many very different laws. Ball says the patchwork is a genuine risk and a common failure mode of American federalism—though wariness shouldn't mean blanket opposition to all state legislation.
