TL;DR

A wave of ‘right-to-compute’ laws is spreading through U.S. state legislatures to limit government regulation of computational resources, with Montana first to pass such a measure and others like New Hampshire, Ohio, and South Dakota considering similar bills; Idaho’s effort stalled. Proponents say the laws protect property rights and free expression, while critics warn they mainly benefit large tech firms by curbing local AI and data-center regulation, even as AI infrastructure expands and electricity costs and grid strain rise.
