Here are some statements from President Trump on AI regulations:

1. “We want to have one central source of approval — 50 different regulatory regimes hamper the growth of the nascent industry.”

2. “To win, U.S. AI companies must be free to innovate without cumbersome regulation.”

3. “Current patchwork regulations make compliance harder, especially for start-ups.”

4. “Until a national standard is in place, we will check the most onerous and excessive state laws that threaten innovation.”

5. “States that conflict with federal AI priorities may lose access to federal broadband funding.”

6. “We must act to prevent ideological bias and false results in AI.”
