On March 20, 2026, the White House released its National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence, a legislative blueprint pursuant to President Trump's December 2025 executive order. The Framework establishes a federally unified, innovation-oriented regime centered on preemption of state AI laws and a light-touch regulatory approach. It addresses seven key areas: child safety, community and infrastructure development, creator rights and copyright (deferring to courts on fair use), censorship protections, competitiveness through regulatory sandboxes and federal datasets, workforce and education integration, and preemption of burdensome state AI laws while preserving core state authorities. The Framework represents a significant shift toward federal dominance in AI governance while aiming to maintain U.S. leadership in AI development. Sullivan & Cromwell reported the core details. Wikipedia noted additional context. AI.gov added corroborating details.
