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.
