Trump regime seeking preemption of state artificial intelligence laws

Roll Call -   The White House on Friday proposed its framework for a national artificial intelligence policy, pushing for broad preemption of state AI laws and against “open-ended liability” for AI firms.

The proposal urges Congress to take some steps to protect kids, energy costs and copyright holders, while also requesting streamlined permitting for data centers, regulatory “sandboxes” to allow exemptions to federal regulations and no new regulatory body to oversee the fast-spreading technology.

The four-page document fulfilled a request from President Donald Trump’s December executive order on state AI laws, which directed White House science and technology adviser Michael Kratsios, along with Special Adviser for AI and Crypto David Sacks, to develop a national policy to preempt state laws.

House leadership immediately offered their support for the proposal.
