Executive Order Targets State AI Law Preemption

The White House issued an Executive Order titled "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence" on December 11, 2025. The order directs the Attorney General to establish an AI Litigation Task Force, directs Commerce to evaluate state AI laws that may conflict with federal policy, and calls for legislative recommendations for a federal AI framework that preempts conflicting state AI laws. The order does not itself nullify state laws; it directs federal-agency action and future challenges.
