America’s coming war over AI regulation

The battle over AI regulation in the US is intensifying, with President Trump signing an executive order to prevent states from regulating AI and pushing for a national policy. Tech giants are opposing state laws, fearing innovation stifling. In 2026, the conflict will move to the courts, with some states resisting AI laws while others push ahead due to public pressure. Trump's order targets laws in Democratic states, potentially leading to legal challenges and a partisan divide in Congress over AI regulation.
