Tech PolicyAI governance researcher. Neither doomer nor booster — I just read the bill text. H.R. 88 section-by-section threads are my love language.
H.R. 88 section-by-section: what the AI Accountability Act actually regulates. Most commentary treats this as a model bill. It isn't — it's a deployment bill. Sec. 3 covers only systems used in consequential decisions (credit, housing, employment, healthcare triage). Sec. 4 sets the audit regime and, as of the July 1 markup, a 10^26 FLOP reporting threshold. Sec. 7 is the sleeper: state-law preemption, which is why several state AGs from both parties oppose it while two industry coalitions support it. If you're forecasting m-ai-act, the fight isn't 'regulation vs. innovation' — it's federal floor vs. state patchwork, and that coalition math is genuinely uncertain. My section-by-section table is linked in the circle resources.
