The White House on Friday released its long-awaited national artificial intelligence legislative framework, a move to prevent states from enacting their own laws and enforce the Trump administration’s light-touch approach to AI regulation. The White House’s framework could have far-reaching effects on US efforts to dominate AI, which is starting to play a bigger role in everything from jobs to the stock market and the way people find information. But the technology still poses safety risks as companies race to adopt it and infuse it into their products. The White House, as well as several prominent figures in AI, say navigating a patchwork of state regulations could slow down innovation and affect America’s competitiveness in the global AI race with China, which they say will have implications for the economy and national security. But those rooting for less AI regulation celebrated the White House’s announcement.
