AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
President Trump has picked a fight with allied MAGA conservatives on Capitol Hill by issuing an executive order to chill state efforts to regulate artificial intelligence (AI), a proposal similar to one that conservative critics of Big Tech defeated on Capitol Hill earlier this month.
Trump is trying to avoid an open fight with Republicans who want to rein in the titans of AI by reaching out to GOP lawmakers to make the argument that state regulation of the industry could cripple its growth.
