Trump to sign executive order this week creating unified AI regulation framework

Trump to issue executive order on AI regulation this week By Investing.com

Investing.com -- President Trump announced plans to issue an executive order this week aimed at creating a unified regulatory framework for artificial intelligence in the United States. In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the need for a single set of rules governing AI development, arguing that having regulations vary across all 50 states would hinder American leadership in the technology. "There must be only One Rulebook if we are going to continue to lead in AI," Trump wrote. "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." The president expressed concern that fragmented state-level regulations would impede innovation in the AI sector. "You can't expect a company to get 50 Approvals every time they want to do something. THAT WILL NEVER WORK!" he stated. Trump indicated his executive order would establish a unified regulatory approach, though specific details about the planned "ONE RULE" framework were not provided in his announcement.

Trump says he will sign executive order this week on AI approval process

Dec 8 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday he would sign an executive order this week related to the artificial intelligence approval process to avoid having different rules in each U.S. state. "There must be only One Rulebook if we are going to continue to lead in AI... I will be doing 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 in a post on Truth Social. Trump did not provide details on the executive order but Reuters reported last month that the U.S. president was considering an executive order that would seek to preempt state laws on AI through lawsuits and by withholding federal funding. ChatGPT maker OpenAI, Alphabet's Google, Meta Platforms, and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz have called for national AI standards instead of a 50-state patchwork of laws, saying the laws stifle innovation. The move is likely to face pushback from the states, who have previously warned of "disastrous consequences" if the technology is left unregulated.
