- The White House released its National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence, emphasizing a preference for a larger federal role in setting baseline AI policy.
- The document recommends federal legislative action across seven areas: child protection, community and infrastructure impacts, intellectual property, free speech, innovation, workforce development, and preemption of conflicting state AI laws.
- The summary notes a preference for federal intervention where it can preemptively address concerns regarding child protection, national security, intellectual property rights, and free speech.
- It calls for safeguarding communities by ensuring national security and small business adoption of AI, while protecting residential ratepayers from cost increases linked to AI data centers.
- The proposal emphasizes avoiding disruption of court considerations on fair use of AI training on copyrighted material and suggests collective licensing frameworks for unauthorized AI-generated content.
- The initiative supports innovation through regulatory frameworks for testing AI systems and encouraging wider use of federal datasets but opposes creating a new federal AI rulemaking body.
- The framework proposes fostering an AI-ready workforce through non-regulatory federal support for AI training while preempting cumbersome state AI laws that do not align with federal objectives, and calls for cooperation between federal and state governments to avoid duplicative or conflicting regulations.
