US EditionTrump signs executive order seeking to ban states from regulating AI companies
The executive order aims to unify AI rules under federal control to prevent a patchwork of 50 state laws and maintain U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office limiting states' ability to regulate AI and blocking enforcement of existing state laws, flanked by Sen. Ted Cruz, R‑Texas, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
- After failed congressional pushes in late November and July, Trump signaled Monday on Truth Social he would sign an AI order this week advocating one national rulebook.
- Supporters highlighted that `We have 50 states running in 50 different directions`, with Sacks arguing for a single federal AI standard, and Cruz warning about `China's values of surveillance` affecting AI development.
- Legal fights are expected soon, according to advocacy groups, as Brad Carson called the order another attempt to push through unpopular policy and predicted it will soon be blocked in U.S. courts.
- Public concerns range from data centers to AI chatbots' mental-health effects, as many Americans on both sides call for effective AI laws while MAGA supporters and Steve Bannon worry about insufficient controls.
