Salter: Shades of Skynet? State’s measured approach to AI policy development was wise plan
A commentary piece in the Star-Herald argues that a state government's cautious, incremental approach to developing AI policy was the right call, framing measured regulation as preferable to reactive or hasty lawmaking.
Why this matters: Slow and careful sounds boring until you remember what gets missed when governments rush AI rules. The real test of any 'measured approach' is whether it produces rules with teeth or just buys time. Caution is only wise if the pause is used to actually protect people, not to let industry get comfortable before oversight arrives.
