Trump’s Draft Executive Order Targets States Enacting AI Transparency Laws

President Donald Trump is preparing an executive order that would largely bar US states from enacting their own artificial intelligence regulations.

Josh Hawley, Ron DeSantis, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and other Republicans have publicly opposed President Trump's proposal to limit states' ability to regulate artificial intelligence (AI). This proposal follows lobbying efforts from Silicon Valley, indicating a significant divide within the Republican Party regarding the regulation of emerging technologies.

A viral clip has ignited debate over whether Donald Trump insulted a reporter on Air Force One. Elon Musk's Grok AI asserts that Trump actually said 'Peggy,' referring to journalist Peggy Collins, rather than 'piggy.' This clarification has added context to the ongoing discussion surrounding the incident.

US President Donald Trump stated that investment in artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly benefiting the economy. However, he expressed concerns that overregulation could hinder the US's competitive edge against China in the AI sector.

The US is set to approve the sale of advanced artificial intelligence chips to the Saudi Arabian AI firm Humain, according to sources familiar with the matter. This decision comes as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman meets with US President Donald Trump, marking a significant step for the state-backed venture. The approval is seen as a positive development for both the US technology sector and Saudi Arabia's ambitions in AI.
