Trump Administration's AI Regulation Blueprint Prioritizes Federal Authority, Child Safety
The Trump administration revealed a seven-point legislative blueprint for AI regulation, prioritizing federal authority over state laws. The plan focuses on child safety measures, while encouraging AI acceleration and skills training.
The Trump administration on Friday released its new legislative blueprint for AI regulation, outlining a seven-point plan. The blueprint suggests the federal government should limit AI regulations, except for child safety rules, and prevent states from interfering with the national AI strategy. The plan encourages laws similar to the Take It Down Act, which prohibits nonconsensual AI-generated intimate visual depictions. It also supports age verification and parental attestation for AI platforms used by minors. The blueprint suggests a wait-and-see approach to training AI models on copyrighted material. All provisions of the document would only take effect if Congress adopts them into legislation.
