President Trump said he will sign a “One Rule” executive order to place artificial-intelligence oversight under a single federal standard, arguing a patchwork of state requirements would slow innovation and hobble U.S. competitiveness. The move follows industry warnings about navigating hundreds of state AI proposals and echoes calls from Google CEO Sundar Pichai for national rules to better compete with China. Trump said companies shouldn’t have to seek approvals across 50 states for AI deployments. The order, expected this week, could face legal tests over the limits of executive authority and federal preemption, keeping pressure on Congress to craft durable legislation that clarifies the regulatory landscape for developers and data-center operators.
