   Trump administration wants to use federal power to challenge state AI laws

   Description:   
   States trying to regulate AI could be overruled by Trumps federal task force.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   Experts have warned AI is evolving much faster than any regulation can   
   control, and that the flimsy safety laws we have in place are inadequate in   
   protecting users and the wider society.    
      
   But, even those flimsy protections may be overruled in the US, as new plans   
   from the Trump administration see a new executive order giving the federal   
   government unbridled power over states, creating an AI Litigation Task Force   
   which would look to challenge state AI laws.    
      
   The draft document states the taskforce would look to remove all barriers and   
   regulatory frameworks for American AI Leadership, emphasizing the importance   
   for the US to lead the global technological revolution; Our national security   
   demands that we win this race.   
      
   Cumbersome regulation    
      
   One particular target of the taskforce will be Californias new AI safety    
   laws, which the draft order calls complex and burdensome, claiming the bill    
   is based on the purely speculative suspicion that AI might pose significant   
   catastrophic risk.    
      
   The legislation also notifies states  there is likely to be restrictions to   
   funding for those that have implemented AI laws the administration deems to    
   be onerous, or that require AI models to alter their truthful outputs, or    
   that may compel AI developers or deployers to disclose or report information   
   in a manner that would violate the First Amendment.    
      
   Its important to note the timing of this order. Its pretty widely expected   
   that the AI bubble looks likely to burst at any minute, which in turn means   
   many tech companies (and otherwise) who have gone all-in on AI are now, it   
   seems, in danger of imminent collapse - and in fact the whole world economy   
   seems to be just circling the drain waiting for the at first domino to fall.    
      
   So, by eliminating guardrails and regulations, the Trump administration is   
   most likely looking to soften this blow by putting users and consumers in   
   harm's way through deregulated and unrestricted AI with less transparency or   
   accountability there to protect the public.
