"Just hours after the order went public Thursday evening, the California governor issued a statement saying the presidential dictum, which seeks to block states from regulating AI of their own accord, advances grift and corruption instead of innovation. President Trump and David Sacks aren't making policy they're running a con, Newsom said, referencing Trump's AI adviser and crypto czar. Every day, they push the limits to see how far they can take it."
"Trump's executive order is a major victory for tech companies that have campaigned against legislative barriers to developing and deploying their AI products. It also sets up a clash between state governments and the White House over the future of AI regulation. The immediate backlash from groups including child safety organizations, unions and state officials has highlighted the deeply contentious nature of the order and diverse range of interests it affects."
"California, home to some of the world's most prominent AI companies and one of the most active states legislating AI, has been a locus for pushback against the order. This executive order is deeply misguided, wildly corrupt, and will actually hinder innovation and weaken public trust in the long run, California Democratic representative Sara Jacobs said in a statement. We will explore all avenues from the courts to Congress to reverse this decision."
The executive order seeks to preempt state authority by blocking states from independently regulating AI, advantaging major tech companies that oppose legislative barriers. California officials and representatives denounced the order as corrupt and harmful to innovation and public trust, promising legal and legislative challenges. Child safety groups, unions and state officials immediately criticized the decree, highlighting competing interests and potential legal limits on presidential power. California has emerged as a central battleground given its concentration of AI firms and active state AI legislation. State attorneys general signaled plans to examine the order's legality, setting up potential court confrontations.
