President Donald Trump said he would issue an executive order this week establishing a single national rule for artificial intelligence, presumably preempting various state laws on AI. Trump didn’t provide details about the rule, but the White House circulated a draft executive order last month providing for the preemption of state AI laws via lawsuits and the withholding of federal funds. And in a post on the president’s social media platform, Truth Social, the president said: “You can’t expect a company to get 50 Approvals every time they want to do something.” (REUTERS)
Days before Trump’s one AI rule announcement, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said he would introduce what he called an AI bill of rights in the state’s Legislature next year. Among other things, the measure would require notification of consumers when they interact with a chatbot; prohibit chatbots from providing mental health therapy; prohibit the use of an individual’s name, image and likeness without their permission; and limit the amount of personal data AI companies could sell.
