President Trump to Sign Executive Order Blocking State AI Laws Amid Bipartisan Pushback
President Trump announced plans to sign an executive order that would prevent states from enacting their own AI regulations. This move comes after a failed attempt in the Senate to preempt state AI laws through a defense budget bill. The executive order aims to establish a unified national framework for AI regulation, arguing that state-level laws could create a fragmented regulatory environment that stifles innovation. Silicon Valley leaders, including OpenAI President Greg Brockman and AI czar David Sacks, support the order, citing the need for a consistent regulatory approach to maintain the U.S.'s competitive edge against China in AI development. The order would also establish an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge state laws and direct federal agencies to evaluate and potentially override state regulations.
