Trump Mulls Executive Order to Regulate AI, Launches AI Litigation Task Force to Challenge State Laws, Tied to White House Cryptocurrency Advisory Group

Markets and policy teams are watching a developing narrative around AI regulation as the White House weighs an executive order to centralize federal oversight. Reported drafts describe a dedicated AI Litigation Special Task Force operating under the Attorney General to steer policy.

The plan would authorize the task force to pursue litigation against jurisdictions deemed to impede AI development, aligning with the broader regulatory landscape for disruptive technologies. The draft also calls for periodic coordination with the White House’s cryptocurrency advisory group to ensure cross-cutting governance.

While the proposal could sharpen regulatory clarity for crypto market participants, it may raise cross-border and cross-state compliance considerations. Analysts say the move would increase transparency, set clearer enforcement priorities, and inform funding and interagency coordination under federal oversight.
