The White House has introduced a national policy framework for artificial intelligence, advocating for Congress to enact legislation that would preempt state-level regulations. This move, reported in March and April 2026, seeks to create a singular, uniform approach to AI governance nationwide. The framework outlines recommendations across seven pillars, including child protection, AI infrastructure, intellectual property, free speech, innovation, workforce development, and the preemption of state AI laws. According to reports, the administration prefers a sector-specific, federally led regulatory model, emphasizing the preemption of state laws deemed to impose "undue burdens" on AI development. This initiative follows a December 2025 Executive Order and suggests that existing federal agencies should oversee AI applications, rather than establishing a new regulatory body. The stated goal is to encourage innovation and maintain U.S. leadership in AI by simplifying the regulatory landscape for businesses.
