Donald Trump recently signed an executive order establishing a national framework for AI regulation, aiming to preempt diverse state-level laws and ensure American global AI dominance over competitors like China.The order directs federal agencies, including the Justice Department and Commerce Department, to challenge state AI regulations deemed "onerous" and threatens to withhold federal funds, a move largely supported by tech giants such as OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia.Critics, including Democratic lawmakers, state officials like Brianna Titone, and groups such as Public Citizen, argue the order undermines consumer protections, stifles state oversight, and could lead to unchecked AI development.
