On November 18 (local time), U.S. President Trump took to the social media platform "Truth Social" to advocate for the creation of unified federal standards governing artificial intelligence (AI) regulation across the United States. He emphasized that AI investments are fueling economic growth in the U.S., yet an excess of state-level regulations poses a threat to this vital engine of progress. Trump warned that if individual states were to establish their own disparate standards, it could result in an overregulation of AI technology, potentially enabling China to outpace the U.S. in the competitive AI landscape. To address this, he put forward two viable solutions: integrating federal standards into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) or pushing for their passage through a standalone legislative bill. His stance echoes that of prominent AI firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, who have previously voiced concerns that state-level regulations are impeding the pace of innovation in the United States.
