But the two proposals part ways on a number of other key elements.<br \/>Principle among those differences is their respective approaches to intellectual property. Where as Blackburn urges Congress to clarify through legislation that the unauthorized use of copyrighted works to train AI models is not fair use under the Copyright Act, the White House wants the issue left up to the courts, which are currently considering the question in dozens of lawsuits brought by artists and rightsholders against AI developers.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><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. Thanks!<br \/>\u201cAlthough the Administration believes that training of AI models on copyrighted material does not violate copyright laws, it acknowledges arguments to the contrary exist and therefore supports allowing the Courts to resolve this issue,\u201d the White House outline says. \u201cSimilarly, Congress should not take any actions that would impact the judiciary\u2019s resolution of whether training on copyrighted material constitutes fair use.\u201d<br \/>The White House recommendations are also more explicit in urging federal preemption of AI-specific state laws. \u201cPreemption must ensure that State laws do not govern areas better suited to the Federal Government or act contrary to the United States\u2019 national strategy to achieve global AI dominance,\u201d the outline says. \u201cStates should not be permitted to regulate AI development, because it is an inherently interstate phenomenon with key foreign policy and national security implications.\u201d<br \/><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/cpi-posts\/sen-blackburn-releases-discussion-draft-of-bill-to-set-federal-framework-for-ai-policy\/\">Sen. Blackburn Releases Discussion Draft of Bill to Set Federal \u2018Framework\u2019 for AI Policy<\/a><\/strong><br \/>The administration also wants to curb Congress\u2019 penchant for creating elaborate federal bureaucracies to regulate major industry sectors. \u201cCongress should not create any new federal rulemaking body to regulate AI, and should instead support development and deployment of sector-specific AI applications through existing regulatory bodies with subject matter expertise and through industry-led standards,\u201d the outline says.<br \/>Other areas of focus in the White House draft include protections for ratepayers against surging electricity costs resulting from data centers, creating regulatory sandboxes for AI applications \u201cthat help unleash American ingenuity and further American leadership in AI development and deployment,\u201d and encouraging the creation of education and workforce-training programs to accelerate development of an AI-capable workforce and promote corporate adoption of the technology.<br \/>Now that both Congress and the White House have put their cards on the table for framing federal policy on AI, interest groups on all sides of the debate are expected to throw their own chips into the pot to try to influence the scope and direction of any legislation the emerge from the discussions. Coming at the beginning of the midterm electoral season, the proposals\u2019 recommendations are also likely to become hot issues on the campaign trail, where policymakers are already scrambling to grapple with growing consumer backlash against data-center development and AI\u2019s alleged role in teenager suicides and psychological problems.<br \/>To borrow a phrase from Bette Davis\u2019 character in \u201cAll About Eve,\u201d fasten your seatbelts, it\u2019s going to be bumpy ride.<br \/>                 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/cpi-posts\/u-s-appeals-court-tosses-ftc-order-over-intuits-free-turbotax-ads\/\" class=\"mb-0 fw-bold\">US Appeals Court Tosses FTC Order Over Intuit\u2019s \u201cFree\u201d TurboTax Ads<\/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\/jury-finds-musk-liable-for-misleading-twitter-shareholders-during-takeover-fight\/\" class=\"mb-0 fw-bold\">Jury Finds Musk Liable for Misleading Twitter Shareholders During Takeover Fight<\/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\/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\/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;
