[WASHINGTON, March 20, 2026] — The White House today released the National AI Legislative Framework, a strategic blueprint aimed at establishing a unified national standard for Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulation in the United States. The framework's core objective is to assert "federal preemption," effectively blocking disparate and restrictive state-level AI laws to solidify America's innovative edge in the global AI race.
Ending the "50 Different Rules" Problem
The administration argues that the current landscape of state-by-state regulation is creating a fragmented system of "50 conflicting sets of rules," which stifles innovation and burdens businesses with excessive compliance costs. The new framework explicitly calls for federal law to take precedence over state AI regulations. It proposes prohibiting states from interfering with the fundamental development of AI and shields developers from liability for the misuse of their models by third parties.
Six Pillars: Balancing Innovation with Responsibility
The framework outlines a comprehensive strategy across six key areas:
Protecting Children & Empowering Parents: Mandates robust age-verification mechanisms for AI platforms and equips parents with powerful tools to manage their children's privacy, screen time, and content exposure to mitigate risks of exploitation and self-harm.
Strengthening Communities & Energy Dominance: Ensures that residential electricity users do not bear the cost of new AI data centers. It also calls for streamlining permitting processes to allow data centers to generate their own power, thereby enhancing grid reliability.
Respecting IP & Supporting Creators: Seeks to protect the intellectual property of creators while acknowledging AI's need to learn from publicly available information. The framework suggests a licensing framework allowing rights holders to collectively negotiate compensation with AI providers.
Preventing Censorship & Protecting Free Speech: Reaffirms the commitment to the First Amendment, preventing AI systems from being weaponized to suppress legitimate political expression or dissent.
Promoting Innovation & Ensuring U.S. Leadership: Rejects the creation of new federal AI regulatory bodies, favoring oversight through existing sector-specific agencies and industry-led standards. It also proposes "regulatory sandboxes" to accelerate AI deployment.
Educating & Cultivating an AI-Ready Workforce: Encourages Congress to advance workforce development and training programs, ensuring American workers share in the economic growth driven by AI.
"The White House's National AI Legislative Framework will unleash American innovation and help us win the global AI competition," said Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. "We need a single national framework, not a patchwork of 50 different state rules."
The Trump administration plans to work closely with Congress in the coming months, with the goal of enacting this framework into law within 2026.
白宫发布《国家人工智能立法框架》：确立“联邦优先”原则，终结各州AI监管碎片化
【2026年3月20日 华盛顿讯】 美国白宫今日正式发布《国家人工智能立法框架》（National AI Legislative Framework），旨在为美国人工智能（AI）技术建立统一的国家级监管标准。该框架的核心诉求是确立“联邦优先”原则，通过联邦立法排除各州日益严苛且碎片化的AI监管法律，以巩固美国在全球AI竞赛中的创新优势。
终结“50套规则”，确立联邦统一标准
白宫在声明中指出，各州自行其是的监管模式正在形成“50套相互冲突的规则体系”，这严重阻碍了技术创新并增加了企业的合规成本。新框架明确要求，联邦法律应优先于各州出台的AI监管相关法律，严禁各州干预AI的基础研发，也严禁因第三方滥用模型而追究开发者的责任。此举意在为美国科技企业提供一个宽松、包容且确定性强的全国性发展环境。
六大支柱：平衡创新与社会责任
该框架围绕六大关键领域作出了系统性部署：
保护儿童与赋能家长：要求AI平台建立严格的年龄验证机制，并赋予家长管理子女隐私设置、屏幕使用时间及内容接触的强大工具，以降低未成年人遭受性剥削和自残的风险。
筑牢社区根基与能源主导：明确住宅电力用户不应承担AI数据中心建设带来的电费上涨成本。同时，呼吁简化审批流程，允许数据中心就地发电，以增强电网可靠性。
尊重知识产权与支持创作者：在保护创作者原创成果的同时，支持AI对公共知识的合理学习。政府提议建立许可框架，使权利持有者能集体与AI提供商协商补偿。
防止审查与保护言论自由：强调联邦政府必须捍卫宪法第一修正案，防止AI系统被用作压制合法政治表达与异议的工具，绝不允许AI成为政府评判言论正当性的手段。
赋能创新与确保主导地位：反对设立新的联邦AI监管机构，主张通过现有的行业特定机构及行业标准进行监管，并建立监管沙盒以加速AI在各领域的部署。
培育AI就绪劳动力：鼓励国会推进劳动力发展与技能培训计划，确保美国劳动者能够融入并共享AI驱动的经济增长成果。
白宫科技政策办公室主任迈克尔·克拉齐奥斯（Michael Kratsios）表示：“这份框架将释放美国的创新潜力，助力我们赢得全球AI竞争。我们需要的是一套全国统一的框架，而非杂乱无章的州级规制体系。”
据悉，特朗普政府计划在未来数月内与国会紧密合作，致力于在2026年内将该政策框架转化为正式立法。
