Right to compute bills push back on AI regulation

The Montana and New Hampshire measures’ introduction is supported by free market evangelists such as Adam Thierer, a technology and innovation senior fellow at the R Street Institute think tank.

“BOOM … THIS IS THE WAY!,” Thierer wrote on X after the Montana bill was introduced.

Thierer calls the right-to-compute movement a “major counterbalance” to the prevailing effort to establish guardrails for AI.

“A right to compute essentially reverses the burden of proof on digital innovators. … They are innocent until proven guilty,” Thierer said.
