Trump AI plan urges Congress to overrule states

What they're saying: "Congress should preempt state AI laws that impose undue burdens to ensure a minimally burdensome national standard consistent with these recommendations, not fifty discordant ones," the framework states.

What's inside: The proposal calls on Congress to:

• Address the use of AI replicas that simulate someone's likeness or voice.
• Codify President Trump's pledge to require tech companies to pay for their increased energy demands.
• Establish "regulatory sandboxes" to allow developers to experiment with AI under relaxed rules.

It also focuses on kids' online safety: "AI services and platforms must take measures to protect children, while empowering parents to control their children's digital environment and upbringing," the framework states.

House GOP leadership and key committee chairs said they "look forward to working across the aisle" on a national AI framework "that unleashes the full potential of AI, cements the U.S. as the global leader, and provides important protections for American families."

What we're watching: This recommendation will shape Republican-led efforts on Capitol Hill, but disagreements over federal preemption, copyright and kids' safety remain the same sticking points that have stalled action for years.

• The push to preempt state laws will also continue to draw resistance from local politicians on both sides of the aisle.
