The White House has released a new national artificial intelligence legislative framework aimed at unifying AI regulation to avoid a patchwork of state laws, promoting a light-touch approach favored by the Trump administration.
The framework addresses a wide range of AI-related issues including data centers, AI scams, and the need to protect intellectual property while training AI models.
It calls for six main objectives that Congress should consider to maintain the balance between innovation and public trust.
Among the objectives, the framework stresses the importance of enabling better parental control over children’s digital presence, streamlining permits for data centers, and combating AI-enabled scams.
The administration is advocating for sector-specific regulatory bodies to oversee AI regulation to avoid a unified rule-making approach.
Concerns are raised about the potential for a loss of accountability for AI companies if their products cause harm to consumers without any overarching federal legislation.
The White House believes coordination at the federal level is pivotal for the U.S. to remain competitive in the global AI race, especially against China, which could affect both the economy and national security.
The administration plans to work with Congress to convert this framework into legislation, though the legislative process is expected to be challenging, especially before the upcoming midterm elections in November.
