Resolution in Support of Free Market Solutions and Enforcement of Existing Regulations for Uses of Artificial Intelligence

WHEREAS, artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next great tool for human flourishing, artistic creativity, increased productivity, and economic growth;

WHEREAS, AI also represents a major area of competition between American innovators and foreign adversaries and cyber criminals;

WHEREAS, the major advancements in AI have been driven by private sector capital, ingenuity, and effort,

WHEREAS, throughout history, major technological advances have been met by hysterical and misguided responses from government regulators;

WHEREAS, AI innovation is supported by the principles of a market-driven approach to policy creation; competition and technological neutrality; constitutional limits and protections against government overreach; self-governance as the preferred approach to addressing novel challenges, as opposed to increased government regulation; continuous deregulation; and, when absolutely necessary, implementing simple regulations with guardrails;

NOW, THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED, [LEGISLATIVE BODY] supports a permissionless innovation approach to AI, recognizing that the free market is best equipped to advance innovation, mitigate potential harms, safeguard privacy, and ensure robust competition;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, [LEGISLATIVE BODY] supports efforts by state and federal functional regulators to enforce existing anti-discrimination and other laws against regulated entities that use AI;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, [LEGISLATIVE BODY] rejects any attempt by the federal or state governments to ban AI, significantly curtail its advancement by undermining the above principles, or any effort to build, as a matter of law or government policy, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) mechanisms into AI;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, [LEGISLATIVE BODY] believes that any federal regulations governing the use of AI technology must emerge from the U.S. Congress, and not be promulgated by federal agencies.
