Abstract

The myriad applications of artificial intelligence (AI) by the private and public sectors have exploded in the public consciousness in the postpandemic period. However, researchers and businesses have been working on AI technology applications for decades, and in many ways, governments are rushing to catch up. This article presents an argument that the future of AI policy in the United States will be driven in large part by current and future state-level policy experiments. This argument is presented by drawing on scholarship surrounding federalism, regulatory fragmentation, and the effects of fragmentation on business and social equity. The article then presents the case of autonomous vehicle policy in the states to illustrate the degree of current fragmentation and considers the effects of layering new AI policies on top of existing rules surrounding privacy, licensing, and more. Following this consideration of existing research and its application of AI policy, the article presents a research agenda for leveraging state differences to study the effects of AI policy and develop a cohesive framework for governing AI.

人工智能的未来在美国:以自动驾驶汽车政策为例

大流行后，私营和公共部门对人工智能(AI)的大量应用在公众意识中爆炸式增长。然而，研究人员和企业几十年来一直在研究人工智能技术的应用，在许多方面，政府都在急于赶上。本文提出了一种观点，即美国人工智能政策的未来将在很大程度上受到当前和未来州级政策实验的推动。这一论点是通过借鉴围绕联邦制、监管碎片化以及碎片化对商业和社会公平的影响的学术成果提出的。然后，本文介绍了各州自动驾驶汽车政策的案例，以说明当前的碎片化程度，并考虑了在围绕隐私、许可等现有规则之上分层新的人工智能政策的影响。在考虑了现有研究及其对人工智能政策的应用之后，本文提出了一个研究议程，以利用国家差异来研究人工智能政策的影响，并为治理人工智能制定一个有凝聚力的框架。

期刊介绍： Business and Politics solicits articles within the broad area of the interaction between firms and political actors. Two specific areas are of particular interest to the journal. The first concerns the use of non-market corporate strategy. These efforts include internal organizational design decisions as well as external strategies. Internal organizational design refers to management structure, sourcing decisions, and transnational organization with respect to the firm"s non-market environment. External strategies include legal tactics, testimony, lobbying and other means to influence policy makers at all levels of government and international institutions as an adjunct to market strategies of the firm.
