WASHINGTON—Today, the White House released a National Framework for Artificial Intelligence, which provides a blueprint for Congress to govern this nascent technology across America.
“When it comes to AI, the Trump White House understands what is at stake and what it will take to win the future. AI is a true general-purpose technology with the capability to revolutionize every industry and bring about unparalleled new economic growth and prosperity. Americans have enjoyed immense benefits from leading the world in the internet age, from the efficiencies and conveniences provided by digital services and smart devices to economic and cultural power projection abroad,” said Patrick Hedger, NetChoice Director of Policy.
“The Trump administration understands that it was a light-touch regulatory environment, not 50 different confusing and conflicting regulatory regimes, that enabled the internet revolution and that innovation and investment in winning the AI future for America will require a similar approach.”
“While this framework is a positive step forward, on proposals like age assurance, the devil is in the details to ensure Americans do not face censorship for protected speech. The framework contains strong language on ‘preventing censorship and protecting free speech,’ but NetChoice cautions against laws that impose unconstitutional barriers to access, such as ID mandates, which endanger the privacy of users of all ages. Our cases from Arkansas to California and Ohio should inform Congress on this issue, and NetChoice stands ready to help enact a constitutional, effective framework for American AI dominance.”
