Trump signs order to block states from enforcing own AI rules
President Trump signed an executive order to block states from enforcing their own artificial intelligence (AI) rules, a move supported by technology giants. The action is seen as crucial for America's leadership in the fast-growing AI industry, with concerns over state regulations hindering innovation. Critics argue that limiting state AI safeguards could undercut residents' protection, while firms like Google and Meta have been contacted for their response to the order.
