- The AI framework also calls on Congress to ensure that residential ratepayers do not experience increased electricity costs as a result of new AI data center construction and operation.
- This would be in accordance with the Ratepayer Protection Pledge announced earlier this month.
- President Donald Trump had called on hyperscalers and AI companies to build, bring in, or buy all the energy needed to build and operate data centers, paying the full cost of their energy and infrastructure.
The Trump administration on Friday unveiled a comprehensive AI framework aimed at consolidating federal regulations, while urging Congress to overrule “undue burdens” imposed by state laws.
“The Trump Administration is committed to winning the AI race to usher in a new era of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people,” the White House stated, adding that achieving these goals requires a framework that enables American industry to innovate and thrive, while allowing Americans to benefit from this technology.
The six-pronged approach taken by the Trump administration in the AI framework centers on protecting children, communities, intellectual property rights, and free speech, while enabling innovation and developing an AI-ready workforce.
“This framework can succeed only if it is applied uniformly across the United States. A patchwork of conflicting state laws would undermine American innovation and our ability to lead in the global AI race,” the White House stated.
