Trump unveils national AI legislative framework that would limit state power

The Trump administration on Friday issued a legislative framework for a single national policy on artificial intelligence.

The goal, create uniform federal safety and security guardrails and prevent states from enacting their own AI rules. An effort spearheaded by President Trump, who has repeatedly said the U.S. needs to be the global leader.

"America is the country that started the AI race and as President of the U.S. I'm here today to declare that America is going to win it. We're going to work hard, we're going to win it," Trump said in July 2025.

The new framework is broken up into six pillars. Including protecting children and empowering parents. Preventing censorship and protecting free speech. Enabling innovation. Educating Americans and developing an AI-ready workforce.

"The President has been very forward leaning on this. He signed an EO in April, that created an AI education task force and the key is, how can we bring young people to be able to leverage this technology wherever they go in the future," Science Advisor to the President of the United States Michael Kratsios told Fox News in January.

The new framework is building on the broader 'America's AI Action Plan,' which was released in July. The plan originally focused on three pillars, including accelerating innovation, building AI infrastructure and leading in international AI diplomacy. In its press release on Friday, the administration said it wants to work with Congress in the coming months to convert the framework into a bill that Trump can sign.
