White House Proposes AI Preemption Framework

On March 20, the White House released its National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence, urging Congress to preempt state AI laws deemed an "undue burden." The four-page proposal outlines priorities on children’s safety, infrastructure, intellectual property, censorship, and workforce development, but offers few specifics. Legal experts warn the novel preemption language could increase uncertainty and constrain states’ ability to address AI-specific risks.
