President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he intends to sign an executive order aimed at preventing individual states from regulating the rapidly growing artificial intelligence (AI) industry.
Speaking on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the need for a unified national approach, saying, “There must be only one rulebook if we are going to continue to lead in AI.” He framed the move as essential to preserving U.S. global leadership in the emerging technology sector.
The proposed order underscores the administration’s push for a centralized regulatory framework, highlighting tensions between federal authority and state-level initiatives to govern AI development and deployment.
