Trump’s ‘One Rule’ Regarding AI Regulation

President Donald Trump announced plans to issue an executive order this week to address state laws regulating artificial intelligence, a move supported by tech industry groups seeking federal oversight. Trump aims to establish a national framework for AI regulations, potentially challenging existing state laws. While details of the order remain unclear, a leaked draft suggested measures to preempt state regulations and withhold funding from states with AI laws. Efforts to centralize AI regulation at the federal level have faced opposition in Congress, highlighting a divide within the American right on the issue. Trump emphasized the need for a single rulebook to prevent the involvement of 50 states in the approval process, which could hinder innovation. Google CEO Sundar Pichai also called for national AI regulation to compete effectively with China. Trump is expected to sign the executive order this week to establish a federal standard for AI regulation and prevent overregulation at the state level. Stay Tuned…
