The Supreme Court just kneecapped tech regulation

The Supreme Court's decision limiting executive branch power also further hobbled U.S. government efforts to roll back Big Tech's power. The Supreme Court's decision essentially scuttles the regulatory strategy Congress has long used to establish rules for complex technical realms like health care, the environment and telecommunications. For 40 years, under a Supreme Court principle known as "Chevron deference," Congress has assumed it can draft broad principles establishing its goals and plans—and leave the complex implementation details and case-by-case calls to experts at executive branch agencies. By overturning the Chevron principle, the court is requiring Congress to write laws that predict the future. This regulatory revolution comes as the U.S. government is just beginning to get its head around AI's emergence as tech's new platform. Chevron's demise means that any government effort to set guardrails around AI's risks will be harder to pass and enforce.
