In short
The President orders his administration to challenge state AI laws it calls onerous, and to push for one national AI rule instead of fifty. States with such laws could lose some broadband funds.
AI developers and deployers face a push toward one national rulebook instead of fifty state ones, with the administration challenging state laws it calls onerous and weighing a federal reporting and disclosure standard for AI models. The order also says states with such laws could lose some broadband funds.
The President issued an executive order directing his administration to challenge state AI laws that conflict with a national policy of minimal regulation. It orders the Attorney General to create an AI Litigation Task Force within 30 days to challenge such laws in court. The Secretary of Commerce must publish an evaluation of state AI laws within 90 days and set conditions on broadband funds for states with onerous laws. The order also directs the FTC and FCC to act on AI disclosure and preemption, and asks for a legislative recommendation.
- The Attorney General must set up an AI Litigation Task Force within 30 days to challenge state AI laws that conflict with the order's policy.
- The Secretary of Commerce must publish an evaluation of state AI laws within 90 days, identifying onerous laws and those to refer to the Task Force.
- The Secretary of Commerce must issue a Policy Notice making states with onerous AI laws ineligible for non-deployment BEAD funds, as far as federal law allows.
- The FTC Chairman must issue a policy statement within 90 days on when state laws requiring changes to AI models' truthful outputs are preempted by the FTC Act.
