White House Working on Executive Order to Foil State AI Regulations

The White House is working on an executive order that will direct the Justice Department to sue states that pass their own laws regulating artificial intelligence, according to a draft of the order reviewed by The Information.

The order, which is still in the drafting phase, could change. The timeline for when it will be formally announced is also unclear. The move is part of a long-standing effort this year by White House staffers and tech industry figures to block states from regulating AI—an effort that has so far had little success.
