  The White House's proposal for a nationwide AI law is a thoughtful document that will serve as an excellent foundation for the legislative work ahead. I would be happy to see these principles, if translated well into statute, become law. Congratulations to those involved! [image]

  AI has begun to demonstrate its potential to improve Americans' lives.  To ensure we continue to harness its potential and beat China in the global AI race, Congress must take action.  Today, the Trump Administration took a critical step in releasing a framework that gives Congre…

• @davidsacks David Sacks on x

  In December, President Trump signed an Executive Order tasking us with the development of a national framework for AI, what he called “One Rulebook.”  This was in response to a growing patchwork of 50 different state regulatory regimes that threaten to stifle innovation and jeopa…

  I was especially heartened by this section and heartily concur with the White House that Congress should act to prevent government coercion over the free speech rights of AI developers and users alike. [image]

• @jonschweppe Jon Schweppe on x

  Just read the White House's proposed national policy framework for AI. Very strong. Love the emphasis on age verification and protecting kids online. Looks like the White House will support the efforts of the @HouseCommerce committee. 👏 👏 👏 [image]

• @berinszoka Berin Szóka on x

  The new White House AI legislative framework is confused about the First Amendment: Gov't can't “prevent[] AI systems from being used to silence or censor lawful political expression” because AI providers' have a First Amendment right to not to decide which questions to answer [i…

• @sentedcruz Senator Ted Cruz on x

  I have repeatedly said that under no circumstances can we let China win the AI race.  The world would be at risk of a powerful tool being in the hands of an adversary that could be used for global surveillance and control.  @POTUS is taking meaningful steps...

• @rikiparikh Riki Parikh on x

  This framework asks Congress to preempt state AI laws, but it hasn't earned that. It offers nothing on independent safety testing, no serious ideas on how to address labor market disruption, and no accountability standard for when AI systems cause harm. Worse, it would create

• @jackclarksf Jack Clark on x

  We're looking forward to sharing ideas in what will certainly be a vigorous debate around data centers, protecting children, security, economic impact, and other issues of national significance.

• @sriramk Sriram Krishnan on x

  On a personal note : I'm very proud of what we have done today in establishing what are going to be some very key issues and rules of the road for AI in America.  This was a long process with many people involved that deserve credit ( including many who don't always agree on ever…

• @deanwball Dean W. Ball on x

  The major and crucial distinction between this document and an Executive Order or another report like the AI Action Plan is that this document is self-consciously the opening move in a long, multi-dimensional public negotiation over the legislation. You must read it that way!

• @thezvi Zvi Mowshowitz on x

  This section was indeed excellent.

• @johncornyn Senator John Cornyn on x

  We are in a race against our adversaries on many fronts, but AI is one we cannot afford to lose. Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats wasted time and failed to meet the moment. The Trump administration's framework gives Congress a substantive roadmap to protect children,

• @ashleyrgold Ashley Gold on x

  Catching my eye in the AI framework, on the very bottom... “States should not be permitted to penalize AI developers for a third party's unlawful conduct involving their models.” this sounds a lil Section 230-y!

  Today, the White House released its national framework for artificial intelligence. FIRE appreciates the proposed protections for expressive rights embodied in the Trump administration's new policy framework for artificial intelligence. There are elements that warrant caution [im…

• @andyjungtech Andy Jung on x

  Many good ideas in the framework. It repeats the phrase “Congress should” twenty-six times. Releasing this was the easy part. The hard is actually getting lawmakers to write the laws.

• @jackclarksf Jack Clark on x

  Speaking as someone who goes to Congress a lot, the White House signaling broad direction and the need for legislators to act is helpful - it should kickstart an important process, and break some logjams.

• @miles_brundage Miles Brundage on x

  (very low confidence / low stakes prediction but just for the sake of concreteness + falsifiability) I'm guessing OpenAI praises the WH proposal and Anthropic says nothing

• @repfedorchak Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak on x

  There's no doubt that AI is rapidly transforming how we live and work. The question now is whether America develops the rules of the road and leads the future of this extremely powerful tool, or if we let adversaries like China set the terms. It cannot be the latter.

• @krishnan Krish Subramanian on x

  The White House AI framework released today wants to “prevent censorship” in AI systems. Here is the part nobody in tech policy wants to say out loud: every AI safety guardrail can be reframed as censorship if you define censorship broadly enough. If Congress writes legislation

• @repguthrie Rep. Brett Guthrie on x

  Grateful for @POTUS' bold leadership in AI to ensure America continues to lead the world through the 21st Century! Our nation will remain the leader in new AI innovations while protecting consumers and the online safety of children. [image]

  Thank you @POTUS, @DavidSacks47, @mkratsios47, and the full WH team for your leadership in pushing a national AI framework forward. Like other major industries in the United States, AI needs strong oversight from the federal government to protect the American public and to

• @ryanfedasiuk Ryan Fedasiuk on x

  3/ Protecting ratepayers from subsidizing the AI industry's electric bills is both smart politics and smart policy — and complements the administration's essential (and broadly bipartisan) work to streamline energy permitting in this country. [image]

• @ryanfedasiuk Ryan Fedasiuk on x

  2/ Specifically: calling for on-site power generation at data centers and streamlining permitting is exactly right. As @JoinFAI and NAM illustrate, the U.S. cannot win the race for AI adoption if every new facility spends years in regulatory purgatory. https://www.thefai.org/...

• @ryanfedasiuk Ryan Fedasiuk on x

  The White House has released its most comprehensive vision yet for AI policy. Most proponents of a National AI Framework have focused on federal preemption of state laws — but the most significant provisions of this document deal with energy. 🧵 1/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/...

• @secureainow @secureainow on x

  The White House's federal AI framework is a weak attempt to address the real world harms caused by AI systems today. It is a backroom deal that shields Big Tech from any liability whatsoever. The White House cannot allow AI companies to continue to exploit American citizens,

• @innovators @innovators on x

  AIN represents little tech, where AI innovation starts. We appreciate the push for a national AI framework because Startups can't navigate a patchwork of 50 different state regulations just to be able to write a line of code. There's an important opportunity here to get this

• @natpurser Nat Purser on x

  my first thought after reading the admin's national AI framework is that this will mostly incentivize some ... strategically ambiguous state legislation. anchoring everything in existing statutory authority, using tech-neutral language, focusing on deployment, etc.
