The Trump administration is preparing an executive order called "Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National AI Policy," which aims to prevent states from enforcing their own AI regulations.
Donald Trump has urged for a unified federal AI standard rather than a "patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes." The order directs the DOJ to form an AI Litigation Task Force led by Attorney General
Pam Bondi to challenge state AI laws conflicting with federal policy or constitutional rights, targeting laws in California and Colorado and linking funding eligibility to compliance with a federal framework.
