"The executive order, issued Thursday, largely mirrors a draft order leaked last month despite the White House declining to verify the draft's veracity. In short, Trump has empowered Attorney General Pam Bondi to set up an AI Litigation Task Force "whose sole responsibility shall be to challenge state AI laws" that the administration considers inconsistent with its policy "to sustain and enhance the United States' global AI dominance through a minimally burdensome national policy framework for AI.""
"What that policy will look like remains undetermined, with Trump also declaring in the order that he wants his special advisor for AI and crypto, venture capitalist David Sacks, and his science and tech advisor, Michael Kratsios, former chief of staff to Peter Thiel, to propose legislative recommendations for what a federal AI policy framework will look like. The AI industry, which has lobbied hard against state regulation, will be thrilled to have a of couple AI-friendly individuals crafting federal policy recommendations."
President Trump issued an executive order directing the Attorney General to establish an AI Litigation Task Force charged with challenging state AI laws viewed as inconsistent with a federal policy to sustain U.S. global AI dominance through a minimally burdensome national framework. The order asks special advisors David Sacks and Michael Kratsios to propose legislative recommendations for a federal AI policy. The task force must be set up within 30 days. Administration officials have 90 days to identify state laws for litigation referrals, determine restrictions on BEAD funding or discretionary grants for nonconforming states, and explore FTC Act authority for pursuing state AI measures.
