US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at blocking states from enforcing their own artificial intelligence (AI) regulations.
“We want to have one central source of approval,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday.
It will give the Trump administration tools to push back on the most “onerous” state rules, said White House AI adviser David Sacks. The government will not oppose AI regulations around children’s safety, he added.
The move marks a win for technology giants who have called for US-wide AI legislation as it could have a major impact on America’s goal of leading the fast-developing industry.
He… Has zero authority to tell states how to enforce their own laws. Executive Orders can’t do this. They’re not laws, they’re directives for the FEDERAL government to follow within existing laws.
Not how this works, Donald. Take a high school civics class.
It’s wild that this whole article seems to treat this as having any legal impact. How could you go through all the effort of writing an article and getting comments without doing the basic research about whether an executive order has any impact on state laws?
