The White House is creating a new executive order in hopes to stop states from creating their own AI laws.

0:08.2

Today on the show, we're going to be talking about the new drafted executive order, which is soon to be signed by President Donald Trump, that is going to challenge states' efforts to make their own AI laws.

0:17.6

It's going to establish an AI task force to launch lawsuits and stop federal funding for states that have contested AI laws. It's going to establish an AI task force to launch lawsuits and stop federal funding for

0:22.8

states that have contested AI laws. And this is something that is being supported in one way or

0:27.9

another by Sam Altman's Open AI and also the venture capital firm and Drason Horwitz, who essentially

0:33.5

oppose a state by state policy approach. So this is a very interesting moment to see if the federal government, if the heads of industry will stop this or if there's going to be kind of a battle throughout the state. So we're going to be diving into all of this on the show today. But before we do, I wanted to mention that if you want to try all of the AI models I talk about on the show, I'd love for you to check

0:54.5

out my own startup, which is called AIbox.a.I. I'll leave a link in the description. You get access

0:59.1

to all of the top AI models from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic. You get everything for image generation,

1:06.4

tons of different AI image models, tons of different audio models, 11 labs and Open AI's audio stuff. So it's all 20 bucks a month, all in one platform. You can compare the results side by side of different models, chat with them all in the same thread, and you only have one subscription and one login. So if you want to check that out, it is AIbox.ai, and I will leave a link in the description. All right, let's get into what's going on at the White House with

1:27.9

the new executive order. So this is going to be signed by President Donald Trump soon.

1:33.7

The draft of this came out a little bit after Trump publicly called for a single federal standard

1:39.5

to AI. His direct quote was instead of a patchwork of 50 state regulatory regimes.

1:46.6

With this new order that would come out, the attorney general, which is Pam Bondi,

1:51.1

she would have about 30 days to establish a quote unquote AI litigation task force.

1:55.7

And their only task would be to challenge states and their AI laws.

2:00.3

This I think is directly pointed at a number of

2:02.4

states. I know that Florida is working on legislation. California has already come out with legislation.

2:07.4

And so I think the federal government is concerned that of all of the different states

2:10.9

enact different AI regulations, that essentially it's a race to the bottom or AI companies are going

2:16.7

to just have to cater to

2:18.1

the most stringent demands of whatever state has the most regulation, which at this point

2:23.6

feels like it's going to be California. So California would essentially be setting the AI
