"AI and crypto czar David Sacks is involved in the majority of the agency level work the executive order calls for, according to a summary of the draft executive order also seen by Axios. The order is in flux and a final version could look different. This approach would have far less teeth than legislation, and could face legal scrutiny."
"The "Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National AI Policy" executive order calls on government agencies to move aggressively to end a patchwork of state laws in favor of a "minimally burdensome national standard." The draft executive order tasks the attorney general with establishing an "AI Litigation Task Force" within 30 days to challenge state AI laws "including on grounds that such laws unconstitutionally regulate interstate commerce.""
An executive order would establish a national AI standard to replace varied state laws. The attorney general must create an AI Litigation Task Force within 30 days to challenge state laws on interstate commerce and other grounds. Agencies must identify and publish conflicting state laws, including those that may compel disclosures raising First Amendment concerns. The FCC would consider a federal reporting and disclosure standard within 90 days, and the FTC must issue guidance on unfair and deceptive practices for AI within 90 days. Noncompliant states risk losing federal grants; the Commerce Secretary must set broadband grant eligibility within 90 days. The approach is weaker than legislation and may face legal challenges.
