[Trump's Push to Ban State-Level AI Legislation Stalls in Congress, White House May Turn to Executive Order Pressure] BlockBeats News, December 5, according to a report by AXIOS, this week U.S. President Trump’s proposal to prohibit state-level artificial intelligence legislation faced a setback on Capitol Hill, increasing the risk factors for the next steps by the White House and AI Affairs Director David Sacks. Despite continued pressure from the U.S. government, Congress refused to include related priority provisions in the annual defense policy bill, but the White House clearly does not intend to stop there. Three informed sources revealed that an executive order, which was discussed by the White House in November and aimed at overriding state-level AI legislation, has now been brought back to the agenda. It is unclear whether the content of this potential executive order aligns with the previously leaked draft. The draft executive order obtained by AXIOS calls for aggressive measures, directing the Attorney General to establish an 'AI Litigation Task Force' within 30 days to challenge state-level AI laws.
