Bennet Statement on President Trump’s Executive Order Blocking State-Level AI Laws

Dec 16, 2025|Press Releases
Washington, D.C.— Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement on President Trump’s executive order restricting current and future state laws regulating the artificial intelligence (AI) industry.
“President Trump’s executive order to block state laws regulating artificial intelligence is a dangerous overreach of power that will only make it more difficult to keep our communities safe while promoting innovation. While AI has enormous potential to increase productivity and grow our economy, this unilateral action weakens Colorado’s ability to protect children and consumers.
Congress can and must pass bipartisan legislation that supports AI development while protecting the American people. Until then, states must be allowed to develop common-sense frameworks to safeguard their communities while preserving conditions that allow businesses and start-ups to thrive.”
