💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to challenge state AI laws, arguing that AI should be regulated federally due to its interstate nature. The order tasks the Department of Justice with setting up a task force to challenge state laws and the Commerce Department with compiling a list of "onerous" state AI laws. Critics argue this could prolong uncertainty and spark legal battles, hurting startups navigating conflicting regulations. Supporters hope it will push Congress to create a national AI framework.
