Hochul has also signed legislation mandating transparency for AI-generated content in advertising and requiring consent to use a person&#8217;s likeness after death. These efforts aim to protect consumers and maintain trust in human creativity. However, her plans may conflict with federal moves led by former President Donald Trump, who recently signed an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-led-states-sue-biden-admin-over-expansive-climate-order-targeting-trump-legacy\/\" title=\"Republican-Led States Sue Biden Admin Over Expansive Climate ...

Trump wielded his executive powers after Congress failed to pass a bill with similar regulations last month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to create an &ldquo;AI Litigation Task Force&rdquo; to root out state laws that clash with the Trump administration&rsquo;s &ldquo;light touch&rdquo; plans for regulating the industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump administration officials say they want to prevent a hodgepodge of regulations by states that could make it difficult for big AI companies to compete nationwide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have over a thousand bills going through state legislatures right now to regulate AI, over a hundred of them have already passed, 25% of them are in California, New York, and Illinois,&rdquo;&nbsp;David Sacks, the White House&rsquo;s AI and crypto czar, said in remarks Thursday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/3915155\/new-york-spend-millions-helping-people-cope-collective-trauma\/\">NEW YORK TO SPEND MILLIONS HELPING PEOPLE COPE WITH &lsquo;COLLECTIVE TRAUMA&rsquo;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Democratic California Gov.
