"Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday purporting to block states from artificial intelligence regulation. Can a president unilaterally invent new laws and then assert that this counts as occupying the field to then preempt state laws? No, of course not. But he issued the order anyway because this administration is itself a hallucination engine stochastically vomiting out orders. And the public is troublingly dumb enough to think executive orders can create policy out of thin air."
"Section 1. Purpose. United States leadership in Artificial Intelligence (AI) will promote United States national and economic security and dominance across many domains. This is marketing fluff that would make Sam Altman blush, but let's give Trump credit where it's due: introducing AI to national security already successfully flagged Pete Hegseth as a war criminal so maybe the technology does bring something to the table."
"My Administration has already done tremendous work to advance that objective, including by updating existing Federal regulatory frameworks to remove barriers to and encourage adoption of AI applications across sectors. These efforts have already delivered tremendous benefits to the American people and led to trillions of dollars of investments across the country."
Donald Trump signed an executive order purporting to block states from artificial intelligence regulation. The order attempts to claim that presidential action can occupy the field and preempt state laws, a claim described as legally unfounded. The administration is characterized as issuing orders reflexively and producing misleading policy claims. Section 1 frames United States leadership in AI as a matter of national and economic security and dominance. The order asserts previous administration achievements and cites "trillions of dollars" of investments, which are described as largely paper IOUs concentrated around NVIDIA. The rhetoric mixes marketing language with national-security justification.
