California and Trump Clash Over AI Rules: Who Will Win?

California is not happy with Trump's new AI rules. Just hours after Trump signed an order to stop states from making their own AI laws, Governor Gavin Newsom spoke up. He said the order is more about helping big tech companies than promoting real innovation. Newsom called out Trump and his AI advisor, David Sacks, saying they are not making good policy. He thinks they are just trying to see how much they can get away with. California has been very active in making AI laws, so this order is a big deal for them. Other people are not happy with the order either. Groups that care about child safety, unions, and even some lawmakers think the order is not fair. They say it will make AI companies more powerful and put people's jobs and rights at risk. California has already made some big AI laws. One law makes AI companies report safety problems or pay big fines. Newsom thinks California can show the rest of the country how to regulate AI. But Trump's order might stop that. The order also creates a task force to look at state AI laws. If they don't like a law, they might take away federal money or sue. Critics say this is just a way to help big tech companies. They think the government should make its own AI rules instead of stopping states from making theirs. People all over the country are upset about the order. Lawmakers from different states say it will create a wild west environment for AI companies. Child protection groups are also worried. They say AI can be dangerous for kids, and this order makes it worse. Some Trump supporters are not happy with the order either. Steve Bannon, a former Trump advisor, said the AI advisor misled Trump. Others say the order is a gift to big tech companies.
