Trump calls for federal regulation of AI, warns of Chinese competition
Wednesday, 19 November 2025 07:21 WIB | GLOBAL ECONOMIC |Ekonomi Global

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for a single federal framework to regulate artificial intelligence, warning that differing state-level rules could impede investment and allow China to gain an edge.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said AI investment was helping make the U.S. economy the "hottest" in the world, but argued that state regulations risked weakening the sector.

He criticised efforts by some states to embed diversity and inclusion standards into AI systems, claiming they would produce what he called "woke AI."

"We MUST have one Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes. If we don't, then China will easily catch us in the AI race," Trump wrote.

Trump urged lawmakers to include national AI regulations in the annual defence policy bill or pass a separate measure, saying a unified approach would strengthen U.S. competitiveness and ensure "nobody will ever be able to compete with America."
