President Trump has signed an executive order that bans state and local regulations on artificial intelligence, aiming to maintain the United States' competitive edge in AI technology. In response, Congressman Greg Landsman introduced a bill that would require state and federal regulators, consumers, and AI companies to collaborate on establishing best practices for AI data centers, which are known to consume significant amounts of electricity and potentially impact local energy costs.

Lansman criticized the executive order for removing state-level protections without providing a federal plan to safeguard communities. He emphasized that his bill is intended to bring together experts to propose solutions for protecting consumers, particularly rate payers, within a 90-day timeframe. However, Lansman acknowledged that the bill faces significant obstacles to passage in the House.

President Trump is attempting to ban state and local rules on artificial intelligence with an executive order signed yesterday The move comes just a day after congressman Greg Lansman put forward a bill to find AI data center safeguards for consumers. So I called and talked to him about it Trump says his executive order protects the u.s.'s lead over other countries in advancing AI tech, but I asked Lansman Do you think that that's the right move to ban state level regulations and keep it all up to the top of the federal bill? No, they're that If congress, uh had a plan or the president had a plan to protect communities and make sure this is done Well, uh, then yeah, that's the best way to go. But in the absence of that plan and and believe me There's no plan, uh, and the president's not pretending as if there's a plan all he's doing is stripping away the protection the state productions that Consumers and communities have lansman's new bill right here would force state and federal regulators consumers and ai companies into the same room to establish a plan of best practices specifically on the construction of ai data centers that consume enormous amounts of Electricity threatening the price tag for those around them. Is this a probing effort? Uh to try and find the solutions or even even the questions to be asked yes, sometimes congress needs to just step up and do its job and And sometimes it needs to in this case say to The experts you all need to get in a room and tell us How you are going to protect rate payers and what we need to do and you have 90 days Landsman acknowledges his bill faces an uphill battle to passage in the house
