The legislature has the right and ability to do so at any time it so chooses, and has chosen not to. As our legislative branch is currently non-functional, it's reasonable to expect that legislative action will not be taken in any kind of time frame that matters.
The executive branch cannot just make up laws because the legislative branch is "non-functional". The executive branch merely enforces the laws. If there is no law regulating AI, it is not reasonable for the executive branch to just up and decide to create regulations and be allowed to enforce them.
They most certainly can, and often do. The absolute worst thing that can happen when the executive branch oversteps their authority is a court ordering them to stop.
