"President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Thursday evening to federally preempt state artificial intelligence regulations, taking multiple steps to identify state AI laws that "warrant change" - including establishing a new AI Litigation Task Force, restricting broadband grant funding to states deemed to have noncompliant laws and beginning preparations for a uniform federal AI policy framework. The order, which targets "cumbersome regulation" that stands to undermine the Trump administration's broader agenda for the U.S. to lead the global race to AI dominance, will"
"A newly formed AI Litigation Task Force -- formed by the attorney general -- will be charged with challenging the laws identified as overly burdensome. The next steps will be for officials within the Commerce Department to issue formal policy notices to states with "onerous AI laws" that are ineligible to receive Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program non-deployment funds. Those policy notices will also justify the decision to withhold select BEAD funding by saying a patchwork of AI legislation inherently undermines BEAD-funded connectivity projects."
An executive order directs federal preemption of state artificial intelligence regulations and initiates steps to identify state laws that "warrant change." The Commerce secretary, assisted by White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks and other staff, must identify in 90 days state laws that interfere with the federal agenda to spur AI innovation. The evaluation will at minimum identify laws that require AI models to alter truthful outputs or compel disclosures that could violate the First Amendment or other constitutional provisions. An AI Litigation Task Force led by the attorney general will challenge identified laws. Commerce officials will issue policy notices to withhold certain BEAD broadband funds from states with "onerous AI laws." Federal reporting and disclosure standards for AI models are under consideration.
