Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a federal framework for AI regulation, aiming to preempt diverse state-level laws across the US and ensure American global AI dominance.The order directs federal agencies like the Justice Department and Commerce Department to challenge state AI regulations, including California's stringent rules, and threatens to withhold federal funds, a move supported by David Sacks and tech leaders like Tim Cook.Critics, including state officials, labor unions, civil rights groups, and Alexandra Givens, argue this action undermines consumer protections and stifles state-level oversight, despite Trump's call for a centralized approval process.
