Florida advances AI rules despite Trump's federal order
Read, Watch or Listen
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week said the state will proceed with its proposed AI Bill of Rights despite President Donald Trump’s recent executive order seeking to limit state AI regulation. DeSantis told reporters Monday his proposals comply with the law and argued an executive order cannot preempt states; the order empowers Attorney General Pam Bondi to sue and links noncompliant state laws to potential federal funding losses. DeSantis also urged lawmakers to limit AI uses and proposed toll relief for residents. Officials scheduled a Highlands County news conference Thursday. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
