President Donald Trump will sign an executive order this week that aims to preempt states from establishing their own regulations on artificial intelligence (AI) companies in favor of a single federal “rulebook” on the rapidly growing technology, even as major figures in his own party have called for leaving that power to all 50 states.
Trump said last month that he wanted a “Federal Standard” on rules for AI companies rather than allowing states to enact their own regulations, claiming that doing so would undermine growth in the booming industry.
