A large number of federal laws enacted under the U.S. Constitution necessitate the issuance of regulations prior to implementation. This regulatory process, not well-understood by the public, is extraordinarily important. Rarely is the importance of such regulation so clearly set forth as it is in today’s recent essay from Politico Magazine. The essay, which covers the period of U.S. federal AI regulation in the second Trump Presidency up to the recent, highly publicized resignation of the Anthropic researcher concerning his sense that AI would soon be out of control, is instructive reading for an understanding of the ongoing AI controversy.
