Trump dropped an executive order that basically kills state-level AI regulations and puts everything under federal control instead. The White House claims letting every state make its own rules would destroy the industry since tech companies would have to deal with fifty different sets of requirements, and crypto czar David Sacks backed the move by saying it stops places like California from going overboard with restrictions.
California Governor Gavin Newsom immediately went off on Trump and Sacks after the signing, accusing them of destroying consumer protections just to help their buddies in Silicon Valley. People against the order think it actually makes things worse by wiping out local safeguards right when AI is starting to affect everyday life, and they argue Washington is grabbing power it should not have.
