Trump's AI Executive Order: Continuity of Executive Power, Not a Policy Shift
By
J. Benton Heath
Summary
The article analyzes President Trump's executive order on AI regulation, arguing that while it's portrayed as a policy shift, it actually continues the administration's pattern of governing through broad executive discretion while bypassing judicial accountability. The piece critiques the framing of the order as a cautious, principled compromise, instead positioning it as an extension of Trumpian regulatory philosophy that concentrates power in the executive branch.
