Statement by Governor Murphy on the Trump Administration’s Executive Order Prohibiting State-Based Artificial Intelligence Regulation

“For centuries, New Jersey has stood as a global leader in the innovation economy. As generative artificial intelligence has advanced, I have been proud to adopt AI-powered tools to improve government services and attract new investment and jobs to our state. However, President Trump’s Executive Order attempting to interfere with state-based regulation on AI will hamper our efforts and violates states’ rights. I remain committed to cementing New Jersey’s responsible leadership in the realm of AI and to working with my fellow governors on both sides of the aisle to mitigate the impacts of this order.”
