Who Will Write the Future? CEI Releases New Video on the Artificial Intelligence 

The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) today released a new video exploring the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and the policy decisions necessary for the United States to remain a global leader in this technology. 

Titled The AI Revolution: Who Will Write the Future?, the video places artificial intelligence in historical context, comparing it to the Industrial Revolution in terms of reshaping economies and raising the standard of living for all Americans. It argues that AI has the potential to dramatically improve the ways Americans live, work, and travel, from healthcare and manufacturing to transportation and national security.  

“There is a very real possibility of unprecedented prosperity arising from this technology,” said Jessica Melugin, director of the Center for Technology and Innovation at CEI.  

The video warns that increased state regulation of artificial intelligence is creating a fragmented regulatory landscape that is difficult for innovators to navigate. Under such a system, companies could face different disclosure requirements, audits, or outright bans depending on where they operate, making it harder for startups and researchers to compete.  

CEI’s video argues that before the United States can lead globally on artificial intelligence, policymakers must address this domestic challenge. It calls on Congress to consider a temporary moratorium on state-level AI regulation to allow time for lawmakers to study the technology and develop clear rules for interstate commerce that protect consumers while preserving innovation.
