"OpenAI turned 10 yesterday, and President Donald Trump incidentally gave the company a very special birthday gift: a sweeping executive order aiming to dismantle and preempt many state-level regulations of artificial intelligence. "There's only going to be one winner here, and it's probably going to be the U.S. or China," Trump said in a press conference announcing the order. And for the United States to win, "we have to be unified. China is unified.""
"OpenAI has been asking all year for the Trump administration to preempt state-level AI regulations, which the company believes would be burdensome in various ways; Microsoft, Google, Meta, Nvidia, and the major venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz have made similar requests. These firms and Trump have the same argument: Having to comply with dozens or hundreds of state regulations would be onerous, slowing the pace of AI development and putting China at an advantage."
OpenAI turned 10 yesterday and President Donald Trump issued a sweeping executive order to dismantle and preempt many state-level artificial-intelligence regulations. Major AI firms including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Nvidia, and Andreessen Horowitz have urged federal preemption, arguing that numerous state rules would burden development and advantage China. The order instructs federal agencies to identify state AI regulations deemed cumbersome and to act through litigation or by conditioning federal funding on nonenforcement. The order also targets state laws that embed ideological bias within models, prompting opposition from civil-society groups and elected Democrats. Legal challenges are expected from advocates, states, and federal lawmakers.
