Original post

Trump v. Slaughter will have major implications for the future of AI regulation. If you want a federal body that can independently assess frontier models and then impose binding consequences - free from political or partisan influence -- that just got a lot harder, if not impossible.

🚨 In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that the President may fire FTC commissioners at will, overruling Humphrey's Executor and holding that the FTC's for-cause removal protections violate the Constitution's separation of powers.

Right now, my greatest hope for having non-partisan AI regulatory commissions is to place require requirements on the partisan balance of a commission. The Supreme Court decision was about the constitutionality of preventing the president from firing someone. The Supreme Court did not rule on the constitutionality of putting partisan balance requirements on a commission.
