Utah Governor Spencer Cox on Feb. 19, 2026, told the Politico Governors Summit in Washington, D.C., that while he supports the Trump administration's push for U.S. AI leadership, states must retain authority to regulate safety issues like protecting minors. He cited Utah’s updated energy laws and urged state roles in AI deployment and data-center development to protect consumers and limit corporate favors.
