00:00The Trump administration released a six-pronged legislative framework Friday aimed at establishing a single national policy on artificial intelligence,
00:09covering everything from child safety rules to data center energy use,
00:13while explicitly calling on Congress to preempt states from enacting their own AI regulations.
00:19The White House said it wants to convert the framework into a bill Trump can sign this year,
00:24with the administration's science and technology policy director expressing confidence it can draw bipartisan support.
00:31The move comes as AI industry leaders have loudly opposed a growing wave of state-level regulations in places like
00:39New York and California,
00:40arguing that a patchwork of laws would stifle innovation and hand a competitive advantage to China.
00:46The framework also tackles thornier issues, including intellectual property rights
00:51and a call for rules preventing AI from being used to silence lawful political expression,
00:57signaling the administration's intent to shape not just safety, but the cultural and political boundaries of the technology.
