Trump Declares AI Needs One Law to Rule Them, States Beg to Differ
KEY POINTS
- â˘On Thursday, Donald Trump signed an executive order limiting states' ability to individually regulate AI.
- â˘His order aims for a federal framework with a single 'One Rulebook' to avoid complicating tech approvals.
- â˘This move upset some Republicans, who value states' rights, complicating party unity on AI policy.
On a Thursday that surely shook the tech gods, Donald Trump put pen to paper, signing an executive order blitzkrieg against state-level AI regulations. His grand vision: a single 'One Rulebook' to tame the wild west of AI bills â over 1,000 in all 50 states during 2025's session â because heaven forbid companies get slowed by approvals from California, New York, and any other skeptical bad actors. Trump claims Americaâs AI dominance is huge, but without centralized approvals, the tech might be 'destroyed in its infancy.' Meanwhile, swinging his regulatory hammer like a toddler with a new toy, Trump hinted DOJ will sue states with 'onerous' laws, while threatening to strip federal funding from the same offenders. Fellow Republicans, many true believers in statesâ rights, already gripe about this top-down crusade, reminiscent of their failed attempt with the 'Big Beautiful Bill's' AI moratorium, which tanked spectacularly in a 99-1 Senate vote. So now, we get Trump-style regulatory monopoly muscle instead of a polite state potluck, guaranteeing AI's road ahead looks less like a freeway and more like rush hour in D.C.âbumper to bumper with political drama.
