Trump to issue order blocking states from regulation AI

Trump declares need for "One Rulebook" so U.S. can dominate AI race.

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he plans to sign an executive order permitting only "one rule" for regulating artificial intelligence in the U.S.

"There must be only One Rulebook if we are going to continue to lead in AI. We are beating ALL COUNTRIES at this point in the race, but that won’t last long if we are going to have 50 States, many of them bad actors, involved in RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

Several states, including California and New York, have passed statewide legislation this year regulating various aspects of AI, including transparency, whistleblower protections, and user and teen safety. Trump did not elaborate on which states he considered bad actors in the regulatory process, or what qualified them as bad actors.

A version of an executive order that leaked online last week reportedly directed federal agency and cabinet leaders to determine how to punish states with existing AI laws, according to The Verge.

Earlier this year, Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act attempted to ban state regulation of AI for 10 years, a provision that Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green notably rejected. The moratorium was very unpopular amongst registered voters, according to a poll conducted in mid-May. The measure was eventually voted down 99-1 by the Senate. Some MAGA supporters, including Trump ally Steve Bannon, continue to oppose industry-led regulation of AI.

Still, proponents of a regulatory ban still want to provide AI companies carte blanche to innovate without having to address state-by-state regulations. David Sacks, a tech venture capitalist and the Trump administration's special advisor for AI and crypto, is reportedly behind the executive order, according to The Verge.

It's not clear how Trump's executive order would affect Congressional legislation, like the bipartisan bill sponsored by Republican Sen. Josh Hawley and Democrat Sen. Mark Hawley that would require federal agencies and major U.S. companies to account for AI-related workforce reductions.

A report released last week by the tech research nonprofit Future of Life Institute found that only three of eight major AI models got a passing grade on safety.

    1. Well he certainly makes impacts but next one in will reverse them. Let's see if he makes a difference to his economy and helps his poor. I hold my judgements.

  5. When a government demands “one rulebook,” it’s not chasing efficiency — it’s centralizing the throttle. Uniformity sounds pro-innovation until you notice who gets to write the rules and who loses the ability to say no.

  6. He is very pro AI, understands what’s at stake and why the U.S. must become the leader in AI, so this is generally a smart move. Only if Democrats get into power again can this become a problem. Democrats love bureaucratic regulations that suffocate businesses.

    1. You mean like when liberals are in charge? Tell me again how the government paying private insurance companies, who pay Democrat Congress members through campaign contributions, billions of dollars is cool. And while we’re at it tell me why the DNC suddenly has to take out $15 million loans because they’re broke…amazingly right when USAID was shut down and those sweet NGO kickback dollars went away.

    1. There are hundreds of federal laws…are you going to call out every one of them? The federal government has the right and responsibility to regulate certain things, that’s why it’s there. Other things, as many as possible, should be governed by states, that stance has never changed. You’re just desperately looking for an example of hypocrisy when there are 100s of examples of liberal hypocrisy. Nice try though.

    2. if you weren't so stupid, you'd understand... but you're in a cult.

    3. Let’s examine that theory retard…you must agree 100% with the cult leaders, it is your duty to repeat the cult ideology everywhere, if you disagree with the cult in anyway you are excommunicated and they try to ruin your life. If you don’t agree with a cult member they will literally cut off family and friends of decades, your ideology can only exist in an echo chamber and cannot be exposed to outside influences such as logic and critical thinking or the cult’s talking points would collapse. Yup…that 100% the liberals but nice try

  26. This is alarming. AI regulation isn’t just a policy checkbox, it’s about safety, ethics, and protecting people from runaway technology. Centralizing power under one administration and overriding state-level safeguards isn’t leadership, it’s recklessness. States shouldn’t be stripped of their ability to protect their citizens while experimenting with a tool that can impact everything from jobs to privacy to national security. Be interesting to see who's patting his pockets for this!
