US Government Considers Preempting State Laws on AI Regulation Amid New York Courtroom Controversy

Published on 4.15.25

  The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in various aspects of society has been a topic of increasing concern and debate. Recently, an AI startup founder faced criticism for using an AI-generated avatar to present its legal argument in a New York courtroom without informing the court. This incident highlights the need for clear guidelines and regulations surrounding the deployment of frontier AI models. The US government is considering preempting state laws on the training, deployment, and testing of these models, which could address national security concerns while sparking debate over innovation and economic growth. OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman emphasized the importance of governance and supervision in ensuring safety and societal benefits over short-term financial gains. Oliver Roberts Holtzman Vogel, an expert, advocates for federal preemption to ensure consistent regulations across the country. This move would align with OpenAI's own "merge and assist" provision, which supports value-aligned projects achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
