Arlington, VA-Today, Logan Kolas, Director of Technology Policy at the American Consumer Institute (ACI), testified before the Ohio House Technology and Innovation Committee in support of House Bill 392, known as the Ohio Right to Compute Act.
In his remarks, Kolas emphasized that House Bill 392 represents a “bold vision for Ohio technological leadership” by affirming the state’s commitment to innovation, competition, and consumer freedom in the Intelligence Era.
While other states move toward heavy-handed artificial intelligence regulations—over 440 AI-related bills introduced nationwide in 2025 alone—Ohio’s Right to Compute Act would position the state as a national leader in algorithmic liberty and technological growth.
Kolas also noted that the legislation carefully balances innovation and responsible governance. “House Bill 392 is no license to do harm,” he said. “It preserves government authority to address deepfakes, fraud, and threats to critical infrastructure while protecting the freedom to innovate.”
By enacting the Ohio Right to Compute Act, Kolas argued, the state could reclaim its reputation as a pro-innovation leader and create a competitive advantage in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.
