Trump Federal AI Preemption: March 11 Deadlines Passed — DOJ AI Litigation Task Force Now Active Against State Laws
The Trump EO directing federal agencies to challenge conflicting state AI laws reached its first hard deadlines on March 11, 2026: Commerce published its evaluation of burdensome state laws and the FTC issued its preemption policy statement. The DOJ AI Litigation Task Force is now active and expected to target California's AI chatbot safety requirements and Colorado's AI Act on interstate commerce grounds. Legal analysis from Ropes & Gray notes the constitutional limits on preemption are untested and multi-year litigation is near-certain.
