States will keep pushing AI laws despite Trump’s efforts to stop them
The order establishes a federal task force to challenge state AI laws and threatens to withhold broadband funds, targeting 38 states with AI measures this year, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at overriding state AI laws and creating an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge states in court.
- This year, states including Colorado and California enacted AI measures, prompting federal concern after congressional Republicans' failed moratorium attempts earlier this year.
- A letter signed by 280 state lawmakers argues legislators want to keep crafting AI rules, while California officials consider legal challenges and opponents expect more lawsuits.
- The order directs the Secretary of Commerce to notify states they could lose Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program funds if laws conflict with national AI priorities and revokes certain Biden-era AI safety and anti-discrimination policies.
- The administration says its goal is a unified national AI approach, framing the order as part of the July AI Action Plan to reduce regulatory barriers and boost U.S. competitiveness against China.
