"On Thursday evening, with White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks looking over his shoulder, Donald Trump signed an executive order aiming to grab unilateral power over regulating artificial intelligence for the federal government. The order can't by itself unilaterally override state AI laws, but it directs federal agencies to take steps to reduce or eliminate their influence, and discourage states from passing laws that the federal government might challenge, or put crucial funding for other programs at risk."
"It specifically calls out Colorado's recently passed consumer protection law, making the claim that "banning 'algorithmic discrimination' may even force AI models to produce false results in order to avoid a 'differential treatment or impact' on protected groups.""
"The final order is largely the same as the draft copy we obtained and reported on last month. It directs the creation of an "AI Litigation Task Force" that the attorney general will direct, suing states over any AI laws that it determines are inconsistent with a goal to "sustain and enhance the United States' global AI dominance through a minimally burdensome national policy framework for AI.""
An executive order signed by President Donald Trump directs federal agencies to challenge or limit the influence of state laws that restrict artificial intelligence and urges states not to pass conflicting AI regulations by tying compliance to federal actions or funding. The order criticizes Colorado's consumer protection law, asserting that banning 'algorithmic discrimination' could force AI models to produce false results. The order establishes an AI Litigation Task Force led by the attorney general to sue states whose AI laws are deemed inconsistent with maintaining U.S. global AI dominance within a minimally burdensome national policy. The FTC is ordered to clarify preemption under the FTC Act.
