The executive order is the latest in a series of attempts by the Trump administration to hold back state-level AI rules. But many Republicans are also uncomfortable with the effort.

Colorado's state law, passed in 2024, seeks to prevent discrimination in the AI systems that businesses and governments use in making key decisions, such as hiring, education and banking.

The White House has released a fact sheet and Presidential Action outlining a new Executive Order intended to create a unified national policy framework for artificial intelligence, aiming to reduce regulatory fragmentation and guide how AI is governed across the United States.

President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order that aims to restrict states from regulating artificial intelligence. Texas is one of a handful of states that have passed laws setting rules for AI across the private sector.

The order creates an “AI Litigation Task Force” to challenge state laws and uses federal funds for broadband access as a bargaining chip.

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday during a roundtable event that the United States is leading in artificial intelligence development.

WASHINGTON — President Trump vowed to take executive action this week establishing “One Rulebook” nationally for regulating artificial intelligence after similar efforts repeatedly failed in Congress.
