Trump signs order to block states from enforcing own AI rules

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

President Trump signed an executive order to prevent states from independently enforcing AI regulations, advocating for a centralized federal approach. The administration aims to counter "onerous" state rules, except those concerning children's safety. Tech giants support the move, arguing that varied state laws could hinder innovation and the US's competitiveness against China. California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the order, accusing Trump of corruption and undermining state protections, as California and other states like Colorado and New York have already implemented their own AI regulations. Critics argue that preempting state laws removes necessary safeguards, while supporters claim it streamlines regulations for the AI industry.
