U.S. AI Legislation Faces Congressional Setback

According to BlockBeats, a proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump to prohibit state-level artificial intelligence legislation encountered a setback in Congress this week. Despite ongoing pressure from the U.S. government, Congress declined to include related priority clauses in the annual defense policy bill, indicating that the White House is unlikely to halt its efforts. Three informed sources revealed that an executive order, previously discussed by the White House in November, aimed at prioritizing federal over state AI legislation, has been reconsidered. It remains unclear whether the content of this potential executive order aligns with the earlier leaked draft. The draft obtained by AXIOS suggests aggressive measures, instructing the Attorney General to establish an "AI Litigation Task Force" within 30 days to challenge state-level AI laws.
