"Last week, I was following up on several rumors that Donald Trump would sign an executive order that would fulfill a longstanding goal of the AI industry: legal preemption that would prevent states from passing their own AI laws. Mostly, I was calling sources trying to get a sense of how the Trump administration planned to approach it: Which agency would be spearheading it? What legal arguments would they use? How would it interact with Congress,"
"possibly a sign that someone in the administration deeply, deeply loathes David Sacks, Trump's Special Advisor on AI and Crypto. Even though he's not a permanent government employee - he is, in fact, a billionaire tech venture capitalist with a provisional employment status similar to the one Elon Musk previously held - Sacks has become deeply influential in setting the administration's AI and crypto policies. (Just look at Trump's recent statements about federal AI preemption.)"
The Trump administration prepared a draft executive order seeking federal legal preemption to block states from enacting their own AI laws. The draft order aligns with longstanding goals of the AI industry and could conflict with congressional efforts such as a proposed moratorium in the National Defense Authorization Act. A leaked copy of the draft order surfaced, indicating internal dissemination within the administration. David Sacks, a provisional Special Advisor on AI and Crypto and venture capitalist, has become a powerful influence on the administration's AI and crypto policies. The current White House has fewer leaks compared to the previous Trump term, when intra-administration undermining was common.
