The White House unveiled a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence Friday (March 20), saying that this set of legislative recommendations is designed to help American industry innovate and American people benefit from the technology.
The framework aims to provide a consistent national policy, the White House said in a Friday press release.
“Importantly, this framework can succeed only if it is applied uniformly across the United States,” the White House said in the release. “A patchwork of conflicting state laws would undermine American innovation and our ability to lead in the global AI race.”

The framework also calls for protecting free speech by preventing AI systems from being used to silence political expression, enabling American dominance in AI by removing barriers to innovation, and developing an AI-ready workforce by expanding workforce development and skills training programs.
