President Donald Trump released a national framework for regulating artificial intelligence on Friday, laying the groundwork for Congress to create a federal standard for the rapidly growing technology.
The framework, which builds upon Trump’s December executive order, calls for online safeguards for children, less stringent permitting requirements so data centers can generate power on site and preventing censorship. The latter provision is meant to address allegations by conservatives that technology companies are biased against their views, which the firms have denied.
