BSA SVP Global Policy Aaron Cooper Calls for Federal AI Framework
The Dispatch

"If you have this patchwork of 50 different state laws, it’s going to be much more difficult for AI adopters to use AI, and that’s going to make them less competitive nationally and globally," said Aaron Cooper, the senior vice president for global policy at the Business Software Alliance, an industry trade group whose members include OpenAI and Oracle.
That's the state of play as Congress considers whether to take up a moratorium on state AI regulation again. Industry heads and lobbyists have pointed out that such a measure would not stop the federal government from making its own regulations. "What I think we all want is having a good framework at the federal level that applies across the country," Cooper told The Dispatch.
