Word on the street is that a new executive order might be dropping soon—something dubbed the "One Rule" initiative. The idea? Block individual states from creating their own rulebooks for AI companies.

From what's been floating around since the draft leaked back in November, this order could push federal agencies to actively challenge any state-level AI regulations. Even more aggressive: states that push ahead with their own enforcement might see federal funding pulled. It's a bold move that flips the usual federalism playbook—centralizing oversight instead of letting states experiment with their own approaches.

For anyone tracking how tech and innovation get regulated, this could reshape the entire landscape. The tension between federal control and state autonomy isn't new, but applying it to AI? That's uncharted territory.
