The Trump administration is preparing to issue an executive order titled "Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National AI Policy," aiming to block states from enforcing their own AI regulations. Donald Trump called for a uniform federal
AI standard to prevent a "patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes," and the order instructs the
DOJ, led by Attorney General
Pam Bondi, to establish an
AI Litigation Task Force to legally challenge conflicting state laws.
The administration plans to propose federal legislation for a uniform AI regulatory framework supported by leaders like OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, but the order faces criticism from tech unions and lawmakers including New York Assemblymember Alex Bores, who is opposed by the super PAC Leading the Future funded by Silicon Valley investors.
