An executive order reportedly planned for Friday calls for applying a legal concept known as the “dormant commerce clause” to AI — an idea that has been percolating in tech-industry memos and certain legal scholarship for more than a year. And now it appears to have jumped directly into the White House’s policy thinking.

The draft order comes after Republicans in Congress failed to pass a federal ban on state AI regulation, as more lawmakers raise concerns about the technology.

The Senate’s overwhelming rejection in July of a plan to ban states from passing regulations on artificial intelligence — the vote was 99-1 — is now set to be brazenly ignored. The White House is pushing for the measure to be revived and added to the National Defense Authorization Act.

President Donald Trump has drafted an executive order that would block states from enforcing regulations around artificial intelligence, renewing an AI deregulation push that’s raising concerns among tech safety advocates and state lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

The video comes a day after Trump attempted to downplay the affordability crisis in America with an incoherent speech at the company’s ‘Impact Summit’ in Washington, in which he blamed all of the country’s economic woes on the Biden administration while absolving himself of any wrongdoing.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff were on the guest list.

Multiple reports indicate a draft executive order reignites the White House’s push for a national AI regulatory framework—and seeks to punish states who implement their own rules.

Key White House officials are pressing lawmakers on Capitol Hill to keep AI chip export restrictions to China out of the annual defense policy bill, four sources familiar with the matter told Axios. Why it matters: Nvidia would win big if the GAIN AI Act doesn't make it into the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act.
