Trump Moves to Centralize US AI Regulation With a Single National Rule

Intelligence: Trump plans an executive order that would override state AI laws, triggering a power struggle between Big Tech, the White House, and state governments.

• Trump plans a federal One Rule framework for AI, aiming to replace the growing patchwork of state level regulations that companies argue slows development and global competitiveness.

• Tech firms including OpenAI, Google, Meta, and a16z have pushed for national standards, claiming fifty different compliance regimes risk ceding leadership to China.

• The order is expected to use preemption tactics such as lawsuits and withholding federal funding to weaken state authority and consolidate regulatory power in Washington.

• Republican and Democratic state leaders oppose the move, arguing that Washington has failed to enact real safeguards and that states must retain the ability to protect residents.

• States have already passed laws on deepfakes, nonconsensual imagery, discrimination, and catastrophic risk mitigation, creating friction with federal centralization efforts.

• The Senate’s 99 to 1 vote against blocking state AI laws shows how limited appetite there is for stripping state powers, setting up a likely constitutional fight if the order proceeds.

Google Reenters Smart Glasses Race With Gemini Powered Models for 2026

Intelligence: Google will ship new AI glasses in 2026, including audio only and in lens display models built on Android XR as competition with Meta accelerates.

• Google is developing two product lines: audio only glasses for conversational Gemini interactions and display glasses that overlay navigation, translations, and other prompts directly in the lens.

• Hardware design is a multi partner effort with Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker, backed by a $150 million commitment and slated for a 2026 launch window.

• The platform runs on Android XR, signaling an attempt to unify Google’s headset and wearable ecosystem and reduce friction for developers.

• Sergey Brin framed the reboot as a second chance after Google Glass missteps, arguing that modern AI and stronger supply chain control change the cost and capability equation.

• Meta’s strong traction with Ray Ban Meta glasses has raised the stakes and demonstrated that consumer appetite for AI wearables may now be real rather than speculative.

• Competition is widening beyond the two giants with entries from Snap and Alibaba, while Google continues to enhance its XR software stack with PC linking and travel mode support.
