President Trump has signed an executive order to override state laws regulating artificial intelligence.
As NPR's Bobby Allen reports, it's a win for the tech industry, which lobbied for the move.
The order instructs the Justice Department to challenge state AI laws it views as burdensome.
States this year have passed more than 100 laws attempting to regulate AI
while Congress hasn't passed any.
Trump says a patchwork of state laws could give China an edge in the AI race.
Every time you make a change and it could be a very reasonable change,
you still won't get an approved if you have to go to 50 states.
So this centralizes it.
But trying to override state AI laws has been met with opposition from both parties and prominent members of the MAGA movement.
White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks helped advance the order.
Sacks is a longtime venture capitalist with deep connections to Silicon Valley.
