I got into the habit of reviewing the the background of people critiquing particular policy (or advocate for one). In this case the author has very interesting participation in "Special Competitive Studies Project" which describe itself as think tank to "make recommendations to strengthen America’s long-term competitiveness as artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies are reshaping our national security, economy, and society" [1]. This is a data point that might be helpful when engaging with the article.
This is helpful (I had assumed this guy was a straight up VC), interesting to know he is Schmidt-aligned.
That said, this approach assumes the neutrality of the underlying legislation, but everything a government does is by its nature a political act (i.e. non-neutral).

My approach doesn't assume anything, it just trying to identify potential biases and conflict of interest. This is somehow similar of scientific publications (in ideal case).
