The Trump administration released its highly anticipated recommendations for Congress on AI today.

• Why it matters: The National AI Legislative Framework marks a starting point from the White House. But it'll be incredibly hard for Congress to pass anything like it — even with Republicans in control, Axios' Ashley Gold, Maria Curi and Mackenzie Weinger write.

What's inside: As part of "winning the AI race," the four-page White House 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.
• 🌐 Focus on kids' online safety.

🥊 Reality check: The plan isn't tied to specific bills, and it doesn't resolve long-standing issues around protecting kids and overriding state law.

▶️ What's next: A renewed clash with states and Congress over the future of AI regulation. Disagreements over AI policy go well beyond R vs. D.

• The push to preempt state laws will also continue to draw resistance from local politicians on both sides of the aisle.
• Debates over federal reach, copyright and kids' safety remain the same sticking points that have stalled action for years.

CBS News is laying off 6% of its staff and shuttering CBS News Radio, which serves approximately 700 affiliate stations nationwide, Axios' Sara Fischer writes.

• It's the second round of layoffs under CBS' new ownership and management team. CBS News Radio will sign off forever on May 22.

🎙️ Why it matters: The radio cuts are especially notable given CBS News' legacy as a pioneer of news radio, dating back nearly a century.

🌐 CBS News Radio's flagship program, "World News Roundup," is the longest-running daily radio newscast in the country. Edward R. Murrow's historical reporting about WWII stemmed from that broadcast.

• The announcements were made to staff today through two separate memos from editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski.

🎙️ Historic clips from "World News Roundup" ... Read the memo.
