The White House’s Newest Executive Order on AI: Challenging State AI Regulation

In this episode, Katherine Forrest and Scott Caravello unpack the White House’s December 11 Executive Order on AI regulation—and how it might impact today’s patchwork of state-level rules. They cover three major levers in the Executive Order: a new DOJ Litigation Task Force to challenge state laws; eligibility for broadband funding tied to a state’s AI regulatory landscape; and potential preemption through new FCC disclosure standards and under the FTC’s Section 5 authority.
