The US President has issued a legislative framework for a single national policy on artificial intelligence, aiming to create uniform federal safety and security guardrails and prevent states from enacting their own AI rules. The framework is broken up into six pillars, including protecting children and empowering parents, preventing censorship and protecting free speech. The administration plans to collaborate with Congress to convert the framework into a bill that can be signed by President Trump. However, there has been mixed reaction from both sides, with Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal calling the framework 'pathetic' and Republican Senator Dan Sullivan calling it a "commonsense step forward".
