Interstate commerce has been redefined to mean both way less and way more than the phrase might seem to imply. States can for example introduce rules on emissions when no cars are manufactured in that state.

Not really. The only reason California was able to do this is because it got waivers for the federal law preemption rule (in the Clean Air Act).

unless it involves abortions, then it's whatever the Republican parties want to punish women. Or minorities. or black people.

Infact, rules only matter when we're talking about people we dont like.

Do you have an example of an AI state rule that does not obey the interstate commerce law?

Does the interestate commerce clause preclude state laws pertaining to implementation and usage?

For example, can a state outlaw public plate/facial recognition cameras, or usage of social network data and AI by local police?

You could still buy AI, but The People decided you can't use it on the public for anything and everything just because big tech profits.

Or has that become the point of the interstate commerce clause, that big companies can maximize profits in cooperation (lobbying) with one federal government, instead of being inconvenienced with the laws of fifty states, in this the richest country of the world?
