In December, President Donald Trump said his administration would withhold federal broadband funding from states whose AI regulations were deemed to hinder U.S. leadership in the sector, according to Reuters.<br \/>Republican leaders in the House, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, said the White House plan offers Congress a legislative path that would give technology companies more certainty while also focusing on consumer protections and online safety for children, according to Reuters.<br \/>The administration\u2019s push comes as artificial intelligence continues to fuel major gains across the technology industry. Nvidia has risen to become the world\u2019s most valuable company, while Amazon, Meta Platforms, Alphabet and Microsoft have committed billions of dollars to AI development, per Reuters. The White House said it wants to work with Congress to translate the policy outline into law.<br \/>We&#8217;d love to be your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=pymnts.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">preferred source for news<\/a>.<br \/>Please add us to your preferred sources list so our news, data and interviews show up in your feed.

It further seeks to strengthen the federal government\u2019s capacity to respond to AI-enabled scams and national security threats.<br \/>More broadly, the framework calls for reducing obstacles to innovation, speeding AI adoption across industries and making it easier to build leading AI systems, with the stated aim of preserving U.S. leadership in the technology, according to Reuters. It also includes proposals related to intellectual property, free speech, censorship concerns and workforce development through AI education.<br \/>Still, the four-page plan gives limited attention to national security issues, despite concerns among some Washington lawmakers that advanced AI chip exports to China could bolster Beijing\u2019s military capabilities, according to Reuters. Earlier this year, the Trump administration approved exports to China of Nvidia\u2019s second-most advanced AI chip under certain conditions, and licenses for those shipments have already been issued, per Reuters.<br \/><strong>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/white-house-releases-national-ai-framework-2026-03-20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/white-house-releases-national-ai-framework-2026-03-20\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1774283832213000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2vELN2G46ivFKZPaa7UuiH\">Reuters<\/a><\/strong><br \/>                 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/cpi-posts\/ftc-launches-healthcare-task-force-to-sharpen-enforcement\/\" class=\"mb-0 fw-bold\">FTC Launches Healthcare Task Force to Sharpen Enforcement<\/a><br \/>                 <small>Mar 22, 2026 by                     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/author\/nhoch\/\" title=\"Posts by CPI\" rel=\"author\">CPI<\/a>                <\/small>             <br \/>                 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/cpi-posts\/white-house-pushes-congress-for-national-ai-law-to-override-state-rules\/\" class=\"mb-0 fw-bold\">White House Pushes Congress for National AI Law to Override State Rules<\/a><br \/>                 <small>Mar 22, 2026 by                     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/author\/nhoch\/\" title=\"Posts by CPI\" rel=\"author\">CPI<\/a>                <\/small>             <br \/>                 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/cpi-posts\/anthropic-copyright-settlement-lawyers-cut-fee-request-to-187-5-million\/\" class=\"mb-0 fw-bold\">Anthropic Copyright Settlement Lawyers Cut Fee Request to $187.5 Million<\/a><br \/>                 <small>Mar 22, 2026 by                     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/author\/nhoch\/\" title=\"Posts by CPI\" rel=\"author\">CPI<\/a>                <\/small>             <br \/>                 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/cpi-posts\/live-nation-ceo-michael-rapino-defends-company-in-manhattan-antitrust-trial\/\" class=\"mb-0 fw-bold\">Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino Defends Company in Manhattan Antitrust Trial<\/a><br \/>                 <small>Mar 22, 2026 by                     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/author\/nhoch\/\" title=\"Posts by CPI\" rel=\"author\">CPI<\/a>                <\/small>             <br \/>                 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/cpi-posts\/nvidia-faces-new-antitrust-questions-over-20-billion-groq-licensing-deal\/\" class=\"mb-0 fw-bold\">Nvidia Faces New Antitrust Questions Over $20 Billion Groq Licensing Deal<\/a><br \/>                 <small>Mar 22, 2026 by                     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/author\/nhoch\/\" title=\"Posts by CPI\" rel=\"author\">CPI<\/a>                <\/small>             <br \/>                 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/cpi-posts\/antitrust-chronicle-data-driven-competition\/\" class=\"mb-0 fw-bold\">Antitrust Chronicle\u00ae \u2013 Data-Driven Competition<\/a><br \/>                 <small>Mar 19, 2026 by                     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/author\/jrothpymnts-com\/\" title=\"Posts by CPI\" rel=\"author\">CPI<\/a>                <\/small>             <br \/>                 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/cpi-posts\/data-driven-competition-implications-for-enforcement-and-merger-control\/\" class=\"mb-0 fw-bold\">Data-Driven Competition: Implications For Enforcement and Merger Control<\/a><br \/>                 <small>Mar 19, 2026 by                     Alexandre de Corniere &#038;
