The White House just dropped a move that's shaking up the AI regulation game. Trump's latest executive order basically gives federal authorities the power to override what they're calling the most 'burdensome' state-level AI rules. It's a clear signal that Washington wants centralized control over how AI gets regulated across the country, rather than letting individual states set their own boundaries. This could ripple through tech sectors where AI and blockchain intersect—think compliance frameworks, data governance, and innovation pace. Whether this streamlines things or creates new friction points? That's the debate heating up now.
