Trump says he'll sign an executive order restricting states' ability to regulate AI

Trump says he'll sign an executive order restricting states' ability to regulate AI (Business Insider)

• Trump says he will sign an executive order on AI regulation this week.
• The Trump administration has been seeking to limit states' ability to regulate AI.
•That's generated significant backlash, including from fellow Republicans.

President Donald Trump is done waiting for Congress when it comes to blocking state AI regulations.

Trump said on Monday that he would sign an executive order aimed at ensuring that there's only "One Rulebook" for AI in the US, saying that the technology will be "destroyed in its infancy" if companies have to comply with different regulations across all 50 states.

"We are beating ALL COUNTRIES at this point in the race, but that won't last long if we are going to have 50 States, many of them bad actors, involved in RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "You can't expect a company to get 50 Approvals every time they want to do something. THAT WILL NEVER WORK!"

any restrictions and controls that are eventually implemented to regulate its use need to be uniform and universal nationwide for the same reason there aren't 50 different sets of rules for using the internet.
