UF law professor argues AI regulation should target systems, not tools

A University of Florida faculty member contends that the wave of AI legislation sweeping the country — more than 1,500 state bills introduced this year alone — is fundamentally misdirected because it focuses on regulating AI tools rather than the broader systems and human actors that deploy them. The piece also critiques a recent White House framework for simultaneously trying to limit state-level regulation while advancing its own policy priorities. The author calls for regulators to take a more holistic view of how AI is embedded in real-world contexts.
