  • Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is leading a bipartisan National Governors Association effort to develop an artificial intelligence framework, arguing states must fill the void left by federal inaction.
  • While Washington remains slow, governors in Maryland, California, Illinois, Oregon, and Virginia have issued executive orders over the past month to establish standards for the technology.
  • In an interview, Moore, a Democrat, criticized President Donald Trump's meeting with technology executives this week as a "billionaire boys club," questioning who advocated for regulatory guardrails.
  • President Donald Trump and technology leaders signed a voluntary accord this week that he called "morally binding," though Moore argued the governors' independent regulatory efforts remain necessary.
  • The debate over artificial intelligence may influence the upcoming presidential campaign, as Congress struggles to reach consensus despite investigations by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and briefings hosted by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
