"The order says that the AI Litigation Task Force will work with several White House technology advisors, including the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto David Sacks, to determine which states are violating federal laws detailed in the order. It points to state regulations that "require AI models to alter their truthful outputs" or compel AI developers to "report information in a manner that would violate the First Amendment or any other provision of the Constitution," according to the draft."
"The order specifically cites recently enacted AI safety laws in California and Colorado that require AI developers to publish transparency reports about how they train models, among other provisions. Big Tech trade groups, including Chamber of Progress-which is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Google, and OpenAI-have vigorously lobbied against these efforts, which they describe as a "patchwork" approach to AI regulation that hampers innovation. These groups are lobbying instead for a light touch set of federal laws to guide AI progress."
An executive order would direct the U.S. Attorney General to establish an AI Litigation Task Force empowered to sue states for AI regulations alleged to conflict with federal laws such as the First Amendment and interstate commerce protections. The Task Force would coordinate with White House technology advisors, including Special Advisor for AI and Crypto David Sacks, to identify state measures to challenge. The initiative targets recent California and Colorado AI safety laws requiring developers to publish transparency reports about model training. Major tech trade groups oppose varied state rules and advocate instead for a light-touch federal framework.
