The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced this Monday that he will sign an executive order this week to impose a single regulation on artificial intelligence (AI) at the federal level and thus prevent each state from having its own.
"If we want to continue leading the field of AI, there must be a single regulation. At this moment in the race, we are winning against ALL COUNTRIES, but that won't last long if we have 50 states, many of them bad actors, involved in the RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS," Trump wrote on his social network, Truth Social.
The president announced that he will sign the executive order on single regulation this very week because otherwise "AI will be destroyed in its initial phase".

"A company cannot be expected to get 50 approvals every time it wants to do something. That will never work!" added the president. A few weeks ago, Trump attacked the "over-regulation of the states" in the field of AI and bet on having a federal standard. In the last year, some states, such as California, have passed state laws to regulate the development and use of AI. Nearly 40 attorneys general asked Congress in late November to reject a legislative change that could prevent states from passing regulations on AI Prosecutors from 36 of the 50 U.S. states, from both sides of the political spectrum, sent a letter to Congressional leaders demanding to maintain the ability to "enforce existing laws and formulate new approaches" in the face of AI challenges. Prosecutors claimed that states are "better equipped to respond to this rapidly changing technology because state governments are more agile." Since his return to the White House, the president is fighting for the U.S. to win the race for AI leadership against China, by eliminating regulations and barriers that could hinder its rapid expansion.
