Trump order moves to block state AI regulations and create a single federal framework
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that aims to neuter state laws that limit the artificial intelligence industry, a win for tech companies that have lobbied against regulation of the booming technology.
The order grants broad authority to the attorney general to sue states and overturn laws that do not support the “United States’ global AI dominance”, putting dozens of AI safety and consumer protection laws at risk. If states keep their laws in place, Trump directed federal regulators to withhold funds for broadband and other projects.
