"Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that seeks to halt any laws limiting artificial intelligence and block states from regulating the rapidly emerging technology. The order also creates a federal taskforce that will have the sole responsibility of challenging states' AI laws. At a signing ceremony, the president touted AI companies' enthusiasm for wanting to invest in the United States and said that if they had to get 50 different approvals from 50 different states, you could forget it."
"Republicans earlier this year failed to pass a similar 10-year moratorium on state laws that regulate AI as part of Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, with the Senate voting 99-1 to remove that ban from the legislation. Trump's order resurrects that effort, which failed after bipartisan pushback and Republican infighting, but as an order that lacks the force of law."
"The order includes various mandates aimed at preventing the regulation of AI, including instructing the Department of Justice to create an AI Litigation Task Force whose sole responsibility is to challenge state laws. The order also demands a review of existing state laws that could require AI models to alter their truthful outputs. Likely targets include California, which requires companies to disclose their safety testing for new AI models,"
Donald Trump signed an executive order that seeks to stop state laws limiting artificial intelligence and block states from regulating the technology. The order creates a federal task force with sole responsibility to challenge state AI laws and instructs the Department of Justice to form an AI Litigation Task Force. The order revives a failed congressional effort to impose a 10-year moratorium on state AI regulations but carries no force of law. The order is a victory for Silicon Valley and AI companies that lobbied against a patchwork of state rules and demands review of state laws that could require AI models to alter their truthful outputs.
