AI Legislative Framework focuses on protecting American citizens Child safeguarding and protecting citizens are big pushes States retain some governance The White House has proposed a single national AI framework in order to avoid what Trump has previously slated to be a "patchwork" of state laws, all in a bid to boost America's global dominance and competitiveness in the AI sector.

Lawmakers already spoke up about this concern in late 2025, arguing that states are better positioned to react more quickly to emerging tech issues.
