Summary

A leaked draft executive order that would have preempted state AI regulations and elevated VC David Sacks as a key AI policy advisor sparked immediate blowback, while a bipartisan group of 35 state attorneys general urged Congress not to block state AI rules. The episode underscores a tightening fight over who sets AI policy in the U.S. — states or the federal government — with major implications for AI developers’ compliance strategies.
