The Trump administration has been targeting state-level AI regulation, with the president declaring in a social media post this week that the industry needs \u201cone Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
This comes after a 10-year ban on state AI regulation was initially included in Trump\u2019s \u201cBig Beautiful Bill\u201d before ultimately getting removed by the Senate in a 99-1 vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The idea then apparently took on a new form, with the administration reportedly drafting an executive order that would establish an AI Litigation Task Force with a mission to challenge state AI laws through lawsuits. States with contested AI laws would also reportedly be threatened with the loss of federal broadband funding.<\/p>\n
Now, Reuters reports that the executive order has been put on hold. If signed, the order would probably face significant opposition, including from Republicans who previously criticized the proposed moratorium on state regulation.<\/p>\n
AI regulation has also been a controversial topic in Silicon Valley, with some industry figures \u2014 especially those in the Trump administration \u2014 attacking companies like Anthropic for supporting AI safety bills including California\u2019s SB 53.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
