Voters Back National AI Rulebook, Favor Executive Action

New polling shows that the public favors a single national AI framework over a 50 state patchwork by 20 points, and moreover, supports executive action until Congress can act. Total vindication for President Trump’s One Rulebook approach. https://t.co/PqJwslcuYz
