White House AI Framework Calls for Federal Preemption of State AI Laws
Roll Call / Ropes & Gray·medium signal
The White House released its National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence on March 20, recommending Congress preempt 'unduly burdensome' state AI laws — including transparency, accountability, and algorithmic discrimination statutes. The framework would preclude states from regulating AI model development or imposing liability on developers for third-party misuse. Congress has already rejected similar preemption in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the NDAA, making passage uncertain.
