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.
And in those particular circumstances regulations may be permitted. But in most, probable not.
