"US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at blocking states from enforcing their own artificial intelligence (AI) regulations. "We want to have one central source of approval," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. It will give the Trump administration tools to push back on the most "onerous" state rules, said White House AI adviser David Sacks. The government will not oppose AI regulations around children's safety, he added."
"The move marks a win for technology giants who have called for US-wide AI legislation as it could have a major impact on America's goal of leading the fast-developing industry. AI company bosses have argued that state-level regulations could slow innovation and hinder the US in its race against China to dominate the industry, with firms pouring billions of dollars into the technology."
President Donald Trump signed an executive order to block states from enforcing their own artificial intelligence regulations, centralizing approval at the federal level. The White House said the move would give the administration tools to push back on what it called "onerous" state rules while not opposing regulations addressing children's safety. Major technology firms backed a national approach to avoid a patchwork of state laws and to preserve competitiveness with China. California, Colorado and New York have passed AI laws; California's attorney general criticized the order and Governor Newsom said the state's law could set a national standard.
