WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 2025 –The Justice Department established a new AI litigation task force on Friday in accordance with President Donald Trump’s executive order to create a national artificial intelligence framework. 

The directive came from the order Trump signed on Dec. 11 which sought to bolster federal authority over state AI policy, and mobilize federal agencies to enforce compliance. 

In a memorandum issued Friday, Jan. 9, 2026, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote that the new task force’s “sole responsibility shall be to challenge state AI laws inconsistent with the policy.”
