[Trump Signs Executive Order to Standardize Federal-Level AI Regulation Rules] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on the 11th, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order to standardize regulation rules for the field of artificial intelligence (AI) at the federal level, restricting states from formulating their own rules. The executive order states that for the U.S. to achieve success, its AI companies must be able to innovate freely without being constrained by cumbersome regulations, but 'excessive state-level regulation' has hindered this goal. The order points out that the current practice of states independently formulating regulatory rules will inevitably result in a patchwork of 50 different regulatory systems, making compliance more difficult, especially for startups. The executive order declares that a 'minimally burdensome' national standard will be established. The order also directs the Attorney General to establish a special task force for AI litigation, whose 'sole responsibility' will be to challenge state AI laws that conflict with this executive order. Some U.S. tech companies have long opposed strict regulatory systems, and the latest executive order has been interpreted by some local media as a victory for these companies. However, some media outlets have pointed out that the latest policy may lead to weakened AI regulation, posing risks. (Xinhua News Agency)
