According to AXIOS, this week President Trump's proposal to ban state-level artificial intelligence legislation in Congress faced failure, increasing the risk factor for the White House and AI affairs director David Sax's next steps. Despite ongoing pressure from the U.S. government, Congress refused to include relevant priority clauses in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, but the White House apparently does not intend to stop there. Three sources revealed that the executive order discussed by the White House in November aimed at prioritizing state-level AI legislation has now been put back on the agenda. It is not clear whether the content of this potential executive order is consistent with the leaked draft earlier. The draft executive order obtained by AXIOS calls for radical measures, instructing the Attorney General to establish an AI litigation task force within 30 days to challenge state AI laws.
