Joseph Hoefer spoke with Axios about what could happen in the fight between states and the administration over AI regulation.
The Trump administration, once it files suits against states it views as having onerous AI laws, should expect states to bring their own lawsuits about using federal funding levers to influence state policymaking, said Joseph Hoefer, principal and chief AI officer at public affairs firm Monument Advocacy.
“Everyone wants a clearer national framework, but the system will now have to work through agency actions, the legislative debate the EO calls for, and the inevitable round of litigation that follows. And, unfortunately, none of that produces immediate clarity,” Hoefer said.
