Welcome to episode 141 of the AI for Career Success podcast from Curt Robbins. This educational content is designed to give working professionals who leverage AI as a tool for efficiency and productivity a competitive edge.

In this episode, hosts Daphne and Fred unpack a December 13 article entitled "Nationwide Backlash Against Trump's AI Executive Order" from show producer Curt Robbins.

This episode details the immediate and broad national opposition to an artificial intelligence (AI) executive order signed by President Donald Trump on December 11.

The executive order is designed to centralize AI regulation at the federal level, specifically by blocking individual states from creating their own rules to avoid a regulatory "patchwork." The article highlights that the backlash is bipartisan and includes a diverse coalition of state governors—like California's Gavin Newsom, who condemned the order as a "con"—as well as lawmakers, unions, and child advocacy groups.

Opponents are preparing a multi-pronged strategy involving litigation and continued state legislative action in direct defiance of the federal government.

Ultimately, the source portrays the executive order as a high-stakes duel that will redefine the balance of power between the states and Washington concerning AI governance, while also representing a major victory for big tech lobbying efforts against state-level regulation.
