What's Next For AI Regulation And Litigation?

The past week's two biggest developments in the AI regulatory and litigation landscape reflect a growing chasm between the U.S. federal government response and those of the states. On the one hand, President Trump issued his previously delayed Executive Order, which reportedly was watered down after lobbying from AI interests. Although the new EO does impose some restrictions on the release of new frontier models in the name of cybersecurity, the order starts with the express premise that the Trump Administration will “refuse to stifle this innovation with overly burdensome regulation." A few days later, a bipartisan bill was introduced in the House that would try, once again, to preempt state level regulation of AI.
