Trump Is Right to Nationalize AI Policy
"Investment in AI is helping to make the U.S. Economy the "HOTTEST" in the World, but overregulation by the States is threatening to undermine this Major Growth "Engine." Some States are even trying to embed DEI ideology into AI models, producing "Woke AI" (Remember Black George Washington?). We MUST have one Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes. If we don't, then China will easily catch us in the AI race."
"Trump's reasons are pretty solid. We need a national AI policy to support economic growth, prevent blue states from imposing DEI dictates on the technology, and compete with China. Allowing the states to dictate policy will curb growth, make AI woke, and allow China to outpace us on the world stage. Thus, it's necessary to keep this issue in the hands of the federal government."
"Of course, there are some political issues which make sense to leave to the states. But there are others which would be idiotic to have 50 different policies on. For example, trade would be a disaster if Wyoming could establish its own dealings with foreign powers independent of the rest of the country. The same applies for immigration. California and other blue states would love to open their borders to the entire world."
President Donald Trump is pushing for a single federal AI policy through an executive order and legislation to prevent states from creating their own regulations. The federal approach aims to protect economic growth, prevent state-imposed DEI ideology from shaping AI, and keep the U.S. competitive with China. State-level regulatory diversity is characterized as a threat that could inhibit innovation, create 'woke' AI models, and allow foreign competitors to gain advantage. Analogies to trade and immigration illustrate situations where uniform national standards are necessary. AI requires a national standard rather than 50 different state policies.
