She originally planned to use a comprehensive federal standard to combat the multitude of state regulations. But now the strategy seems to be changing, as a corresponding decree has been put on hold.

In recent months, the Trump administration has made increasing efforts to standardize the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) at the federal level. President Trump himself emphasized the need for a single federal standard to replace the current variety of 50 different state regulations. This initiative was originally proposed in a comprehensive bill known as the “Big Beautiful Bill,” but it faced significant opposition in the Senate and was ultimately defeated in a 99-1 vote.
After the proposed legislation failed, the administration planned to issue an executive order establishing an AI Litigation Task Force. This task force should be tasked with legally challenging state AI laws. In addition, states that oppose federal requirements should be threatened with the withdrawal of federal funds for broadband expansion. However, these measures met with widespread criticism, including within the Republican Party, which opposed excessive centralization of regulation.
According to current reports, the Trump administration has now decided not to sign the planned executive order for the time being. This could be due to the significant political pressure exerted by various interest groups, including representatives of the technology industry. In Silicon Valley, AI regulation is a contentious issue, with some companies, like Anthropic, committed to AI safety supporting state laws like California’s SB 53.
The discussion about regulating AI is a hot topic not only in the US but worldwide. While some countries try to ensure the safety and ethics of AI applications through strict regulations, others take a more liberal approach so as not to hinder innovation. The Trump administration’s decision not to sign the executive order for the time being could be seen as a signal that the US is ready to find a middle ground that takes into account both the innovation of the technology industry and security and ethical standards.
