On December 11–12, 2025, a new executive order was signed in the US that could reshape the AI regulatory landscape. As reported by AP and the Washington Post, the order directs federal agencies to challenge state laws regulating AI if they are deemed to hinder national competitiveness. Furthermore, federal bodies may consider withholding certain grants from states that adopt such restrictive rules. This presidential move sparked wide debate about whether the federal government should preempt state-level AI regulations.
