| == Background ==
| |
| | |
| Executive Order 14365, titled "Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence," was signed by President Trump on December 11, 2025, and established a framework prioritizing federal preemption of state AI laws. The order directed federal agencies to review state regulations that could impede AI development and created an AI Litigation Task Force announced January 9, 2026.<ref name="whitehouse">[https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/12/eliminating-state-law-obstruction-of-national-artificial-intelligence-policy/ White House: Executive Order on Removing Barriers to American Leadership in AI]</ref>
| |
| | |
| The GUARDRAILS Act was introduced in direct response, seeking to nullify the executive order, prohibit federal funds from implementing it, and restore states' authority to enact their own AI regulations covering safety, privacy, and bias concerns.<ref name="beyer" />
