What happened: Former President Donald Trump signed an executive order preventing US states from implementing their own rules on artificial intelligence. California Governor Gavin Newsom responded strongly against the move.
Why it matters:
- This order centralises AI regulation at the federal level, limiting state autonomy.
- It affects technology companies and residents in states seeking stricter AI oversight.
MNN Take: The executive order aims to create uniform AI rules across the US, but it may spark tensions between federal and state governments over regulatory authority.
