Florida has it right: No handouts for AI robber barons
Florida signals that innovation is welcome but rejects welfare for large tech firms, warning against handouts in AI development and data infrastructure policies.

Observers say the approach could shape state and national debates on public funding, regulatory burdens, and incentives for AI research and data-center expansions.
