Florida Gov. DeSantis said President Trump's executive order last week seeking limited rules on artificial intelligence doesn't prevent states from imposing laws.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at blocking states from crafting their own regulations for artificial intelligence, saying the burgeoning industry is at risk of being stifled by a patchwork of onerous rules while in a battle with Chinese competitors for supremacy.

The bill seeks to restore union rights for employees at agencies central to national security, healthcare, and veterans' affairs.

The order creates an "AI Litigation Task Force" to challenge state laws and uses federal funds for broadband access as a bargaining chip.

Trump’s latest executive order attempts to punish states that regulate artificial intelligence technology, a policy that has triggered division in the GOP.

By denying a pause in the lawsuit, a federal judge delivers a setback to Trump’s Day 1 refugee ban and orders the case to proceed.
