US President Donald Trump said on Monday (8) that he would sign a presidential decree this week aimed at avoiding the existence of different rules regarding artificial intelligence in each US state.
“There has to be just one set of rules if we want to continue to lead in AI…I will be issuing a one-rule executive order this week. You can’t expect a company to get 50 approvals every time they want to do something,” Trump said on his social media site Truth Social.
Trump did not elaborate on the executive order, but Reuters reported last month that the US president was considering an executive order that would seek to roll back state AI laws through lawsuits and by withholding federal funding.
The creator of ChatGPT, OpenAI, Google, Meta and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz have argued for national AI standards rather than a patchwork set of laws across 50 states, saying such laws stifle innovation.
The move will likely face resistance from states, which have already warned of “disastrous consequences” if the technology is not regulated.
