President Trump will issue an Executive Order aimed at ensuring US dominance of AI by providing one firm set of rules.
“There must be only One Rulebook if we are going to continue to lead in AI,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“We are beating ALL COUNTRIES at this point in the race, but that won’t last long if we are going to have 50 States, many of them bad actors, involved in RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS.”
“THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS! AI WILL BE DESTROYED IN ITS INFANCY! I will be doing a ONE RULE Executive Order this week. You can’t expect a company to get 50 Approvals every time they want to do something. THAT WILL NEVER WORK!”
The Hill reports, “It’s unclear what the final AI executive order will look like. A draft order seen by The Hill last month would have created a task force dedicated to challenging state AI laws and restricted certain broadband funding for states with AI laws deemed overly burdensome.
“The draft emerged in late November, as House GOP leadership was facing pushback over its effort to include a provision that would have barred state AI laws in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).”
The issue of AI regulation has divided the Republican party.
Some have argued that lack of a unified framework could disrupt innovation.
Others, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Josh Hawley have opposed the push for a central framework, claiming it would restrict states’ rights and disrupt important protections against AI.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called for a “bill” of rights to protect citizens from AI.
During a press conference this week, DeSantis said he is not a an “AI exceptionalist,” and explained that there must be limits to the powers granted to tech companies.
He added that placing limits on these powers is in the “best interest” of both the state of Florida and the US.
“And so you do have this strain of thinking, which I think it’s—I call it AI exceptionalism, as if this is going to be something where, you know it’s going to solve every problem, and humans aren’t even going to be needed to do.”
De Santis went on to rubbish the utopian view that AI would allow everyone to “just sit around and play golf all day, and you’re going to get universal basic income” and all major disease would be cured. He said this situation is not only implausible, but also “raises huge concerns.”
“I think new technologies have to be developed in a way that aligns with American values—things like self-government, free speech, having a healthy labor force, federalism, and the rights of states and the creation and maintenance of strong families,” he continued.
“You want technologies that enhance our way of life, not supplant our way of life, and we will never, ever be able to credibly shed ourselves of our responsibility to think for ourselves.”
The main problem, according to DeSantis, is that Big Tech companies simply want to “maximize profits:” “the whole reason they’re doing it is to get a return on the investment.” He said these companies would always choose maximizing their profits over the welfare of humanity.
DeSantis is now proposing legislation that would “protect Floridians’ privacy, security, and quality of life.”
New laws include limits on the use of so-called “deepfakes,” rules against using Chinese AI, parental controls on AI materials and the use of chatbots, protections against the use of individuals’ data without their consent, and rules against the use of AI to adjust insurance claims.
