Who holds the power?

What he was talking about

He said the prior government’s AI rules would give a few large firms too much power. He argued that fewer rules would help small firms.

OUR QUESTION

What gives the rest of us a say when AI firms set the rules?

02 / 03

“LLMs shall be truthful in responding to user prompts seeking factual information or analysis.”

What he was talking about

This order sets terms for AI bought by the U.S. government. It calls for fact-based answers and says models should admit when facts are not clear. It does not ban every false AI answer in private use.

OUR QUESTION

When AI gets a fact wrong, who checks it—and how can a person get it fixed?

03 / 03

Which rules protect us?

“a minimally burdensome national standard — not 50 discordant State ones.”

Signed order · December 11, 2025 · Section 1

What he was talking about

The order calls for a national standard and action against some state AI laws. Its call for new law leaves room for state rules on child safety and some other areas. The order alone does not repeal all state AI laws.

OUR QUESTION

If a state rule is challenged, what rule protects people while the case is heard?
