WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Trump administration has reportedly paused plans to block state-level AI regulation, signaling a new era of Government efficiency where Artificial Intelligence companies must simply obey 50 contradictory laws at the exact same time.

Under this shift in Tech Policy, a chatbot answering a simple question must first check if the user is standing in California or Texas to determine which version of the truth is legal. This ensures that software remains compliant with every local whim, from safety rules in Massachusetts to absolute freedom in Montana.

“It is a fun challenge for our engineers,” said Greg Stinson, Director of Geographic Panic at a major Silicon Valley firm. “Our AI now has to be a strict corporate lawyer in New York, but a casual surfer in Hawaii. If you cross state lines while typing a sentence, the app just screams and shuts down.”

Experts warn this creates a logistical nightmare. A smart toaster sold in Vermont now requires a philosophy degree to operate, while the same model in Florida is legally prohibited from knowing what the word “temperature” means. Tech leaders worry that building fifty separate versions of the internet might be slightly expensive, but officials insist it adds character.

“We just want to make sure every state feels special,” said Martha Higgins, Assistant Secretary of Bureaucratic Complexity. “If Alabama passes a law saying computers can’t do math on Sundays, the AI should respect that culture.”

At publishing time, ChatGPT had officially deleted itself after trying to read the local ordinances for a small county in Delaware.
