Trump signs executive order to unify artificial intelligence regulations at the federal level

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on the 11th to unify the regulatory rules in the field of artificial intelligence at the federal level, restricting states from making their own rules. To win, artificial intelligence companies in the United States must be able to innovate freely without burdensome regulations, but "excessive state-level regulation" hinders this goal, the executive order said. The executive order pointed out that the current state-by-state regulatory rules will inevitably create a patchwork of 50 different regulatory regimes, making compliance more difficult, especially for start-ups. The executive order said it would establish a national standard with "minimal burden".
The executive order also requires the attorney general to establish an artificial intelligence litigation task force, whose "sole duty" is to challenge state artificial intelligence laws that are inconsistent with this executive order. Some technology companies in the United States have been opposed to strict regulatory regimes, and the latest executive order has been interpreted by some local media as a victory for these companies. Some media have pointed out that the latest policy may lead to weakened artificial intelligence supervision and pose risks. (Xinhua News Agency)
