Trump announces decree to prohibit states from regulating artificial intelligence

Washington. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will issue an executive order to strip states of the right to regulate the growing artificial intelligence (AI) industry, which he believes is an activity vital to US global dominance.

“There must be a single manual if we want to continue leading in artificial intelligence,” he published in Truth Social.

Trump’s efforts to control AI development face intense political and legal opposition.

The United States wants to maintain leadership in this field for reasons of national security – vis-à-vis China in particular – and also because AI currently represents one of the largest investment vectors in the country.

However, the White House faces deep skepticism in Congress, where many Democrats and some members of his own Republican Party are wary of the technology’s potential economic and social harms.

“We are outperforming EVERY COUNTRY right now in the race, but that won’t last long if we are going to have 50 states, many of them negative actors, involved in the RULES and APPROVAL PROCESS,” Trump wrote in his post.

“There CAN BE NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS! AI WILL BE DESTROYED IN ITS CHILDHOOD! I will be issuing a ONE RULE Executive Order (for the entire country, ed.) this week,” he warned.
