The White House publicly released a four‑page national AI legislative framework urging Congress to adopt a single “one rulebook” this year that would broadly preempt state AI laws while preserving states’ traditional police powers such as child‑protection, anti‑fraud and consumer‑protection rules and local zoning for data centers. The proposal pairs child‑safety requirements, limits on “replicas” of people, IP and fair‑use guidance, energy and permitting provisions for data centers, regulatory sandboxes, workforce training, and a prohibition on government AI censorship, arguing federal uniformity is needed to protect national security and U.S. competitiveness. House Speaker Mike Johnson has endorsed a unified national framework, while Democrats and some experts warn the plan lacks strong accountability and could tilt power toward industry.
