Artificial Intelligence is advancing at an exponential rate. There are concerns about how AI will impact us socially and economically. Proponents of regulation think the government needs to step in and regulate AI to protect the country's interests. Others think corporations and people should do with it as they please due to distrust with the government. Addressing this issue and thus fostering discussion is important because this technology will impact us now and forever.
Tenth Amendment
"The powers not delegated to the United States by this constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people."
The Constitution never gave the federal government power to regulate private businesses, therefore I oppose this at the federal level.
I am open to considering basic regulations at the State level.

The federal government has the power to regulate patents and copyrights, which could involve AI.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8, does not give Congress the power to "regulate" patents, it merely says, in its entirety "[The Congress shall have power] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." It did not say "[The Congress shall have power] To regulate artificial intelligence and companies that produce it." There is an option for you though – get a constitutional amendment going to regulate AI. That's pretty much all we can do, unless AI is clearly and provably hurting copyrights and patents.

There are some accusations that AI is stealing work from artists and authors.
@JcawolfsonIndependent4wks4W
No, I do not trust the government with such advanced technology
@JcawolfsonIndependent4wks4W
No, any government intervention will undermine free-markets principles and stifle our entrepreneurial spirit
@JcawolfsonIndependent4wks4W
No, excessive regulation risks hampering AI innovation and disrupting market dynamics
@JcawolfsonIndependent4wks4W
Yes, but balance regulation and innovation by simply applying Asimov's laws of robotics
@JcawolfsonIndependent4wks4W
Yes, some oversight ensures AI innovation while addressing ethical concerns
@JcawolfsonIndependent4wks4W
Yes, regulation safeguards against AI disinformation, mitigates job displacement, and protects privacy
@JcawolfsonIndependent4wks4W
Yes, we must ban AI as it is an existential threat, sooner or later
