US EditionTrump to Launch Genesis Mission to Accelerate US AI Development
The Trump administration seeks a federal AI standard to prevent a patchwork of state laws and directs the DOJ to challenge state regulations, with 12 states already enacting AI laws.
- Earlier this week, the White House draft would direct Attorney General Pamela Bondi to create an AI Litigation Task Force and challenge state AI laws within a 90-day roadmap.
- The White House argues a single federal AI standard is needed to prevent state overregulation that could undermine U.S. economic growth, with Trump emphasizing `investment in AI is helping to make the U.S. Economy the HOTTEST in the World` on Truth Social.

- With Congress eyeing the NDAA, House Republicans seek to block state AI rules by inserting preemption language that could affect BEAD funding and prompt lawsuits, Trump said, `We MUST have one Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes`.
