"The push for sweeping federal preemption of state AI laws has largely been fueled by AI investors, conservative policy shops, and tech industry trade groups. These groups have argued that a patchwork approach to AI regulation could stunt Silicon Valley's AI boom, and reduce America's competitiveness on the global stage. White House AI and crypto adviser David Sacks has been one of the most vocal proponents of a light-touch approach to AI regulation."
"The order, titled "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence," creates an AI litigation task force within the Justice Department to directly challenge state AI laws the administration finds to conflict with federal policy. It also directs the Department of Commerce to craft guidelines that could make states ineligible for future broadband funding if they pass "onerous" AI laws."
"The executive order instructs Sacks and the assistant to the President for science and technology, Michael Kratsios, to prepare a legislative recommendation establishing a federal policy framework for AI. One of the new additions is a carveout within this legislative recommendation, asking Congress not to preempt state AI laws that aim to protect children, promote data center infrastructure, and encourage state governments to procure AI tools."
President Trump signed an executive order establishing a national AI regulatory framework that limits states' ability to enact conflicting AI rules. The order creates an AI litigation task force within the Department of Justice to challenge state AI laws judged to conflict with federal policy. The Department of Commerce is directed to develop guidelines that could bar states with "onerous" AI laws from certain broadband funding. The order instructs White House adviser David Sacks and Michael Kratsios to prepare a legislative recommendation for a federal AI policy framework, including carveouts protecting laws that safeguard children, promote data center infrastructure, and encourage state procurement of AI tools.
