Recent Decisions of the Supreme Court Make Regulation of Artificial Intelligence Virtually Impossible.

Two recent decisions of the Supreme Court, the Major Questions Doctrine and to a lesser degree Chevron, will make it virtually impossible to regulate AI. In addition, historically the legal community has been reluctant to take on the Supreme Court in venues outside the court room.  Consequently the future for a possible regulation of  AI  is dismal unless immediate action is taken to mobilize informed and interested personnel to implement the aforementioned link which leads to  the implementation of an out of court strategy.

We appreciate the fact that legislation is needed to implement a comprehensive program to regulate AI. However, as is the case in any number of major regulatory regimes, macro regulation begins with regulatory actions at the periphery of an issue  and moves inward, being mindful of complying with existing statutory requirements. The two aforementioned actions by SCOTUS, taken nearly in tandem over very a short period of time, squash such an approach.

SCOTUS is accustomed to demonstrations and negative editorials but hopefully it will be subjected to the actions of a number of regulatory squadrons commanded by a significant number of seasoned pilots.

In response to the need for immediate action, CRE is exploring the initiation of the following program which is aimed at curtailing additional actions by SCOTUS and hopefully setting the stage for a reconsideration of previous actions:

1. The creation of a website dedicated to the implementation of the Common Law Initiative.

2. Requesting experts post articles on the aforementioned website which demonstrate  that the recent actions of the Supreme Court make it nearly impossible to implement the most primitive of programs to  regulate Artificial Intelligence.

3. Publicizing the articles in (2) above to:

the media                                                                                                                                   members of Congress                                                                                                                  Administration officials                                                                                                              influential individuals and organizations

as set forth herein.

We discovered this gem well after we prepared the above article. [ Although a minority view, we agree that Chevron is a controlling concept but that MQD might well be more significant.]
