President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to contest state AI regulations, arguing that a fragmented regulatory landscape harms startups. The order tasks the Justice Department, Commerce Department, FTC and FCC with reviewing and potentially preempting state rules. Industry leaders and legal experts warn that the move could spark extensive litigation, extending uncertainty for smaller AI firms that lack resources to navigate conflicting state and federal demands. While supporters hope the order will spur Congress to craft a unified national framework, critics say it may delay clarity and burden innovators. Leia mais →

President Trump signed an executive order aimed at establishing a single federal framework for artificial intelligence and limiting the impact of state AI regulations. The order directs federal agencies to reduce the influence of state laws, creates an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge state statutes deemed inconsistent with federal goals, and targets Colorado’s consumer‑protection law on algorithmic discrimination. It also tasks the FTC, Commerce Department and FCC with issuing guidance and standards that could preempt state requirements, while carving out exceptions for certain lawful state regulations. Industry leaders and political observers note the order grants significant power to the White House AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, and reflects ongoing tension between federal and state approaches to AI governance.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.” The order creates a Justice Department task force to challenge state AI statutes that conflict with a forthcoming federal framework and directs the Commerce Department to withhold future broadband funding from states that enact what the administration calls “onerous” AI regulations. Supported by industry groups and White House advisers, the order also instructs advisers David Sacks and Michael Kratsios to draft legislative recommendations for a national AI policy, while carving out limited protections for child safety, data‑center infrastructure, and state procurement. State attorneys general and civil‑rights groups have criticized the move as an overreach that will likely face legal challenges. Leia mais →

President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he will issue an executive order this week to create a single set of federal rules for artificial intelligence, aiming to stop companies from facing a patchwork of state laws. The move comes as states push their own AI measures, including bans on non‑consensual sexual imagery and limits on insurance use of AI. Tech firms such as Google, Meta, OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz have urged national standards, while 35 states and the District of Columbia warned Congress against blocking state AI laws. Critics argue that only Congress can preempt state authority. Leia mais →

President Donald Trump announced plans to issue an executive order that would prevent individual states from enacting their own artificial‑intelligence (AI) rules. The proposed order would create an “AI Litigation Task Force” to challenge state laws in court and direct federal agencies to assess state regulations deemed overly burdensome. Critics, including lawmakers from both parties and tech industry leaders, argue the move would create a patchwork of federal preemption that could stifle innovation and undermine consumer protections. The debate highlights a clash between federal authority and state autonomy in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Leia mais →

Washington is nearing a decision on artificial‑intelligence regulation, sparking a showdown between federal authorities and states that have already passed a wave of AI bills. Lawmakers in Congress are exploring ways to use the National Defense Authorization Act and a leaked White House executive order draft to preempt state laws, while industry groups and pro‑AI political action committees argue that a patchwork of state rules threatens innovation. Representative Ted Lieu and a bipartisan AI task force are drafting a sweeping federal package, but the effort faces opposition from both lawmakers and state attorneys general. Leia mais →

The Trump administration issued an executive order establishing the Genesis Mission, a federal AI platform to be run by the Department of Energy under the oversight of the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology. The plan seeks to leverage the nation’s largest collection of scientific datasets to train foundation models and AI agents that can accelerate research in fields such as advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, critical materials, nuclear energy, quantum information science, and semiconductors. Critics note the order’s focus on strategic advantage and the lack of explicit references to public health or climate challenges. Leia mais →

The Trump administration, after previously targeting state-level artificial intelligence regulations, has put on hold a draft executive order that would have created an AI Litigation Task Force to contest state AI laws. The move follows a prior effort to embed a ten‑year ban on state AI regulation in legislation that was later removed by the Senate. The proposed order also threatened to withhold federal broadband funding from states with contested AI rules. Reuters reports the order is now stalled, citing likely opposition from both political parties and industry stakeholders. Leia mais →

A draft executive order obtained by WIRED directs the Justice Department to create an AI Litigation Task Force that would sue states for AI regulations deemed to violate federal law. The order, titled “Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National AI Policy,” targets state measures that require AI models to alter truthful outputs or compel developers to disclose information that could conflict with the First Amendment. It cites recent AI safety statutes in California and Colorado and grants the Commerce Department authority to withhold broadband funding from non‑compliant states. Industry groups and civil liberties advocates have voiced strong opposition. Leia mais →

President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing an executive order that would give the federal government authority to challenge state AI regulations. The draft calls for an “AI Litigation Task Force” under the attorney general to sue states whose laws are deemed obstructive, and it directs agencies such as the FCC, FTC, and Department of Commerce to act within a 90‑day framework. The move is linked to broader efforts to attach an AI moratorium to the National Defense Authorization Act and to leverage broadband funding pressures on states like California. Leia mais →
