The White House is currently engaged in negotiations with Capitol Hill to achieve federal preemption of select state regulations concerning artificial intelligence (AI). In exchange, the administration is offering to advance technology policies focused on child safety and protections against deepfake impersonation. Senator Marsha Blackburn (Republican from Tennessee) is at the forefront of these discussions, which aim to finalize an AI preemption package that would also encompass protections for children, creators, and communities. Key components of this package are expected to include provisions from the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and the NO FAKES Act, addressing issues like age verification and AI impersonation. The White House has been attempting to establish this federal preemption for over a year, following previous unsuccessful efforts in both the Senate and House. The proposed preemption would be subject-matter specific, preventing states from enacting laws on the same topics covered by the package. The negotiations come shortly after a bipartisan group of House lawmakers introduced a draft national framework on AI, which seeks to minimize risks associated with AI technologies while overriding certain state regulations for a limited period. However, the passage of these initiatives faces significant challenges due to ongoing partisan disputes and opposition from AI safety advocates.
