From “The Disturbing Illusion”
“Zio-Trump signed an executive order aimed at creating a single national framework for AI and attempting to effectively preempt and stop states from enforcing their own AI regulations.
The order, titled “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence,” is intended to give AI companies a single federal standard to follow, rather than a “patchwork” of different state laws that the administration argues would hinder innovation and US competitiveness with nations like China.
The order has been met with significant backlash from states and legal experts, who argue that it is an unconstitutional overreach of federal executive power. State laws focused on areas like child safety are noted as exceptions that would likely not be challenged. The executive order does not immediately invalidate state laws, and legal challenges from states are anticipated.“
