The White House is laying out a new framework that it wants Congress to use to shape national rules for artificial intelligence

The White House unveiled a national framework for how it wants Congress to address concerns about artificial intelligence. Technology journalist Jacob Ward joins CBS News to discuss the outline and AI concerns.

The White House on Friday released its long-awaited national artificial intelligence legislative framework, a move to prevent states from enacting their own laws and enforce the Trump administration’s light-touch approach to AI regulation.

In December, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order that instructed White House officials to craft a national AI policy framework. The directive previewed many of the suggestions included in today’s document.
