Federal push to override state AI laws
BuildAIPolicy Research · Added 27 October 2026 · Last checked 27 October 2026
What it is
Executive Order 14365 directs federal agencies to challenge state AI laws and to prepare a federal framework that would override them. No federal law overriding state AI laws has been passed, so state laws remain in force unless a court, Congress or the state changes them.
Who it affects
Organisations subject to US state AI laws.
What to consider
- Keep meeting state AI laws that apply to you while this develops.
