Major Tech Companies Welcome Trump's Move to Streamline AI Regulations Across the US
US President Donald Trump has enacted an executive order aimed at preventing individual states from implementing their own regulations on artificial intelligence (AI).
Speaking from the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump stated the intention of creating a singular, central system for AI regulation approval, saying, “We want to have one central source of approval.”
David Sacks, a White House advisor on AI, explained that this executive order would provide the administration with mechanisms to counteract what it perceives as the most burdensome state-imposed regulations on AI. However, he reassured that the government would not challenge state regulations concerning the safety of children.
This development has been greeted as positive news by major tech companies, who have long advocated for nationwide AI legislation, asserting that it is crucial to maintaining America's competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI sector.
Leaders in the AI industry have voiced concerns that state-level regulatory measures could dampen innovation and weaken the US's position in the global race for AI dominance against rivals like China, where companies are heavily investing in AI technologies.
Requests for comment have been sent to AI companies such as OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Anthropic by the Reporters.
However, the executive order has already sparked controversy.
California, a hub for numerous leading tech firms, already possesses bespoke AI regulations. The state's governor, Gavin Newsom, a known critic of Trump, issued a scathing rebuke of the executive order, labelling it as an extension of Trump's alleged self-serving activities during his presidency.
In a statement, Newsom accused Trump of “attempting to enrich himself and his associates” through the executive order, which aims to override state-level protections against unchecked AI technology.
Earlier in the year, Newsom had advanced legislation requiring major AI developers to outline strategies for mitigating risks associated with their AI models.
Other states, including Colorado and New York, have also adopted their own measures concerning AI development. Newsom has suggested that these state laws could serve as a blueprint for federal legislation.
The executive order has also faced criticism from those who argue that, in the absence of federal regulations, state legislations are vital for ensuring adequate protection for residents. Julie Scelfo, from the advocacy group Mothers Against Media Addiction, stated that prohibiting states from setting their own AI safeguards “undermines states' basic rights to establish sufficient guardrails to protect their residents.”
