The White House released a new framework for national AI legislation Friday morning, focusing on protections for children and boosting America’s AI industry.
The White House released a new framework for national AI legislation Friday morning, focusing on protections for children and boosting the industry while calling for sharp limits on legal liability for developers and state laws that it says would slow down the technology's development.
The Trump administration's legislative proposal emphasizes the need for Congress to establish a unifying federal approach to artificial intelligence rather than let states create "a patchwork" of individual rules. Politicians and activists across the political spectrum have instead advocated for states’ ability to regulate AI in the absence of meaningful federal action regarding the fast-moving technology.
“The Federal government is uniquely positioned to set a consistent national policy that enables us to win the AI race and deliver its benefits to the American people,” the White House said in an announcement accompanying the framework’s release.
“The Administration looks forward to working with Congress in the coming months to turn this framework into legislation that the President can sign.”
The framework is split into seven main areas, from “Protecting Children and Empowering Parents” and “Respecting Intellectual Property Rights and Supporting Creators” to “Educating Americans and Developing an AI-Ready Workforce.”
