独家报道： 福克斯新闻数字版了解到，白宫周五公布了其首个全国性人工智能政策框架——这是一份立法大纲，旨在为全国人工智能发展建立”一致”的国家标准，防止审查并保护言论自由和儿童权益。
福克斯新闻数字版独家获取了这份立法框架，白宫将于周五向国会领导层分享该框架，因为白宫正推动国会在”今年”将其”常识性”提案推进并编纂成法。
“今年。以我们最快的速度。”白宫科学技术政策办公室主任迈克尔·克拉西奥斯（Michael Kratsios）在周四晚间的独家采访中告诉福克斯新闻数字版。”国会有很多优先事项需要推进，但我们相信这能获得两党的支持。”
白宫消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字版，该框架旨在减少监管不确定性，维持美国在人工智能领域的主导地位，防止审查并保护言论自由。
“我们需要一项全国性政策——而不是50个州各自制定法律的拼凑体系，”克拉西奥斯在周四晚间的独家采访中告诉福克斯新闻数字版。”这项立法提案正是为了实现这一点。”
“去年12月，特朗普总统签署了一项行政命令，责成我们制定人工智能国家框架，他称之为’统一规则手册’，”白宫人工智能和加密货币负责人大卫·萨克斯（David Sacks）告诉福克斯新闻数字版。”这是对50个不同州监管制度日益增多的回应，这些制度威胁要扼杀创新并损害美国在人工智能竞赛中的领先地位。”
根据福克斯新闻数字版获取的官方框架，白宫敦促国会”优先于各州人工智能法律，这些法律不应施加不当负担，以确保与这些建议一致的最低负担的国家标准，而不是50个不和谐的法律”。
框架指出：”这项国家标准应尊重联邦制的关键原则，不优先于各州保留的传统警察权，以对人工智能开发者和用户执行普遍适用的法律，包括保护儿童、防止欺诈和保护消费者的特定法律。”框架还补充说，该标准也不应优先于”州分区法律，包括州当局确定人工智能基础设施的位置”。
框架表示：”优先事项必须确保州法律不管理更适合联邦政府的领域，或与美国实现全球人工智能主导地位的国家战略相悖。”
白宫强调，各州”不应被允许监管人工智能发展，因为它本质上是一种涉及关键外交政策和国家安全影响的跨州现象”。
框架称：”各州不应不适当地限制美国人使用人工智能进行合法活动，也不应允许各州因第三方使用其模型进行非法行为而惩罚人工智能开发者。”
除监管结构外，该框架还关注儿童保护。
白宫敦促国会以特朗普政府期间采取的保护儿童免受人工智能伤害的行动为基础，并编纂这些行动，赋予父母强大的工具来管理子女的隐私设置、屏幕使用时间、内容接触和账户控制。
萨克斯告诉福克斯新闻数字版，该框架有助于父母”保护子女免受网络伤害，保护社区免受更高电费的影响，保护我们的第一修正案权利免受人工智能审查，并确保所有美国人从这项变革性技术中受益”。
立法提案包括为可能被未成年人访问的人工智能平台和服务建立商业合理、保护隐私、年龄保证的要求——如家长认证。
此外，白宫呼吁立法要求人工智能平台实施减少未成年人遭受性剥削和自我伤害风险的功能。
“我们呼吁国会确保父母有权塑造和保护子女的数字成长，”克拉西奥斯告诉福克斯新闻数字版。
克拉西奥斯指出，第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普（Melania Trump）在去年通过并签署《下架法案》（Take it Down Act）方面发挥了重要作用。该立法惩罚涉及未经同意的露骨图像的网络虐待行为，并获得两党强烈支持。
该框架还涉及与人工智能基础设施相关的能源成本问题。
与此同时，白宫正推动国会将其《纳税人保护承诺》（Ratepayer Protection Pledge）编纂成法。该承诺确保科技巨头保护美国人免受与数据中心电力需求相关的更高电费影响。它还要求公司”建设、带来或购买新一代资源，并承担数据中心所需的所有电力输送基础设施升级成本”。
这一承诺是在人们担心新建数据中心将导致普通美国人能源价格上涨的背景下提出的。
该承诺旨在保护美国人免受电价飙升的影响。它还要求公司承诺不将费用转嫁给美国家庭，并承诺在其建设和运营数据中心的社区内招聘和培训人才——这一举措可能创造数千个就业机会。
“我们呼吁国会将这项《纳税人保护承诺》编纂成法，”克拉西奥斯说。
与此同时，白宫还呼吁国会加强现有执法工作，打击针对弱势人群（如老年人）的人工智能模拟欺诈和诈骗。
该框架还涉及与先进人工智能系统相关的国家安全问题。
在国家安全方面，白宫敦促国会确保相关联邦机构具备足够的技术能力，以了解前沿人工智能模型的能力及其相关的国家安全考虑。白宫还呼吁国会制定计划，减轻潜在的国家安全担忧。
另一个关键领域是知识产权和创作者保护。
白宫立法框架的另一部分敦促国会起草法律，保护美国创作者、出版商和创新者免受侵犯其受保护内容的人工智能生成输出的影响。这一建议特别要求国会尊重这些知识产权，同时不损害合法创新和言论自由。
“尽管政府认为使用受版权保护的材料训练人工智能模型不违反版权法，但它承认存在相反的论点，因此支持允许法院解决这一问题，”白宫框架称。”同样，国会不应采取任何影响司法机构裁决使用受版权保护材料进行训练是否构成合理使用的行动。”
关于模仿问题，该框架敦促国会考虑”一项联邦框架，保护个人免受其声音、肖像或其他可识别属性的人工智能生成数字复制品的未经授权分发或商业使用，同时为受第一修正案保护的恶搞、讽刺、新闻报道和其他表达作品提供明确例外”。
提案称：”国会应防止有人滥用这一框架来压制网络言论自由，”同时敦促国会继续”仔细监测版权先例的发展和执行情况”。
白宫还敦促国会捍卫言论自由和第一修正案保护，同时防止人工智能系统被用于”压制或审查合法的政治表达或异议”。
框架指出：”国会应防止美国政府强迫包括人工智能提供商在内的技术提供商根据党派或意识形态议程禁止、强制或更改内容，”并补充说，国会应为美国人提供有效途径，”就联邦政府机构在人工智能平台上审查表达或规定人工智能平台提供的信息的行为寻求补救”。
克拉西奥斯告诉福克斯新闻数字版，美国在全球人工智能竞赛中”仍处于领先地位”，并正在”尽一切可能保持和扩大这一领先优势”。
白宫还呼吁国会为小企业提供人工智能资源，如赠款、税收激励和技术援助项目，以支持人工智能工具在美国各行业更广泛的部署。
福克斯新闻数字版去年曾独家采访克拉西奥斯，当时他担任白宫科学技术办公室主任。周四的采访中，他回顾了上任第一年的工作。
“我们工作的第一个支柱是人工智能创新，其中一部分是确保美国有一个监管框架，为我们的创新者提供确定性，”克拉西奥斯说。”这项立法框架是一项重大成果，如果国会能在今年将其通过为法律，这将是美国向前迈出的一大步。”
萨克斯告诉福克斯新闻数字版，白宫团队计划与国会合作，”将我们今天宣布的原则转化为法律”。
过去几周，克拉西奥斯和萨克斯一直在与立法者合作，包括与众议院和参议院领导人会面。
“我们与众议院多数党和参议院多数党领袖进行了交谈，我们认为他们会很感兴趣，”克拉西奥斯说。
去年12月，特朗普总统发布行政命令，确保制定人工智能国家政策框架。
据白宫官员称，新框架”落实了行政命令，同时扩大了劳动力和教育机会，确保美国工人从人工智能驱动的增长中受益”。

White House unveils first federal AI framework to replace state laws | Fox News
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the White House’s proposal which calls for one national AI standard to replace a 50-state patchwork, covering free speech, child safety and energy costs

EXCLUSIVE: The White House on Friday unveiled its first national policy framework for artificial intelligence — a legislative outline to establish a “consistent” national standard for AI development across the nation that prevents censorship and protects free speech and children, Fox News Digital has learned.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the legislative framework that the White House will share with congressional leadership Friday as the White House pushes Congress to advance and codify its “commonsense” proposals into law “this year.”
“This year. As fast as we can,” White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Thursday evening. “Congress has a lot of priorities they’re trying to make happen, but we believe this can receive bipartisan support.”
White House sources told Fox News Digital that the framework was designed to reduce regulatory uncertainty, sustain U.S. dominance in the AI space, prevent censorship and protect free speech.
“We need one national policy — not a 50-state patchwork of laws,” Kratsios told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Thursday evening. “This legislative proposal delivers on that.”
“In December, President Trump signed an Executive Order tasking us with the development of a national framework for AI, what he called ‘One Rulebook,’” White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks told Fox News Digital. “This was in response to a growing patchwork of 50 different state regulatory regimes that threaten to stifle innovation and jeopardize America’s lead in the AI race.”
The White House is urging Congress to “preempt state AI laws that impose undue burdens to ensure a minimally burdensome national standard consistent with these recommendations, not fifty discordant ones,” according to the official framework obtained by Fox News Digital.
“This national standard should respect key principles of federalism and not preempt the traditional police powers retained by the states to enforce laws of general applicability against AI developers and users, including particular laws to protect children, prevent fraud, and protect consumers,” the framework states, adding it should also not preempt “state zoning laws, including state authorities, to determine the placement of AI infrastructure.”
The framework said that “preemption must ensure that state laws do not govern areas better suited to the Federal Government or act contrary to the United States’ national strategy to achieve global AI dominance.”
The White House stresses that states “should not be permitted to regulate AI development, because it is an inherently interstate phenomenon with key foreign policy and national security implications.”
“States should not unduly burden Americans’ use of AI for activity that would be lawful if performed without AI,” the framework says. “States should not be permitted to penalize AI developers for a third party’s unlawful conduct involving their models.”
Beyond the regulatory structure, the framework also focuses on protections for children.
The White House is urging Congress to build on and codify actions taken throughout the Trump administration to protect children from AI harms and empower parents with robust tools to manage their children’s privacy settings, screen time, content exposure and account controls.
Sacks told Fox News Digital that the framework helps parents to “safeguard their children from online harm, shield communities from higher electric bills, protect our First Amendment rights from AI censorship, and ensure that all Americans benefit from this transformative technology.”
The legislative proposal includes establishing commercially reasonable, privacy protective, age-assurance requirements — like parental attestation — for AI platforms and services likely to be accessed by minors.
In addition, the White House is calling for legislation requiring AI platforms to implement features that reduce the risk of sexual exploitation and self-harm to minors.
“We are calling on Congress to ensure parents are empowered to shape and protect their children’s digital upbringing,” Kratsios told Fox News Digital.
Kratsios pointed to first lady Melania Trump’s efforts surrounding the passage and signing of the “Take it Down Act” last year. That legislation punishes internet abuse involving nonconsensual, explicit imagery and garnered strong bipartisan support.
The framework also addresses energy costs tied to AI infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the White House is pushing Congress to codify its Ratepayer Protection Pledge into law. The pledge ensures that tech giants protect Americans from higher electricity bills tied to data center power demand. It also requires companies to “build, bring, or buy new generation resources and cover the cost of all power delivery infrastructure upgrades required for data centers.”
The pledge came amid concern that the creation of new data centers will cause mounting energy prices for everyday Americans.
The pledge works to protect Americans against spiking electricity bills. It also has companies vowing against passing expenses to American households and commits companies to hiring and training talent from within communities where they build and operate data centers — a move that could create thousands of jobs.
“We’re calling on Congress to codify this Ratepayer Protection Pledge,” Kratsios said.
Meanwhile, the White House is also calling on Congress to augment existing law enforcement efforts to combat AI-enabled impersonation scams and fraud that target vulnerable populations, such as seniors.
The framework also addresses national security concerns tied to advanced AI systems.
As for national security, the White House is urging Congress to ensure the appropriate federal agencies have sufficient technical capacity to understand frontier AI model capabilities and any associated national security considerations. The White House is also calling on Congress to establish plans to mitigate potential national security concerns.
Another key area is intellectual property and creator protections.
Another section of the White House’s legislative framework urges Congress to draft language to protect American creators, publishers and innovators from AI-generated outputs that infringe their protected content. This recommendation specifically asks Congress to respect those intellectual property rights, without undermining lawful innovation and free expression.
“Although 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,” the White House framework states. “Similarly, Congress should not take any actions that would impact the judiciary’s resolution of whether training on copyrighted material constitutes fair use.”
As for imitation, the framework urges Congress to consider a “federal framework protecting individuals from the unauthorized distribution or commercial use of AI-generated digital replicas of their voice, likeness, or other identifiable attributes, while providing clear exceptions for parody, satire, news reporting, and other expressive works protected by the First Amendment.”
“Congress should prevent persons from abusing such a framework to stifle free speech online,” the proposal states, while urging Congress to continue to “carefully monitor” the development of copyright precedents and enforcement.
The White House is also urging Congress to defend free speech and First Amendment protections, while preventing AI systems from being used to “silence or censor lawful political expression or dissent.”
“Congress should prevent the United States government from coercing technology providers, including AI providers, to ban, compel, or alter content based on partisan or ideological agendas,” the framework states, adding that Congress should provide an effective means for Americans to “seek redress from the Federal Government for agency efforts to censor expression on AI platforms or dictate the information provided by an AI platform.”
Kratsios told Fox News Digital that the United States is “still ahead” in the global AI race and is “doing everything we possibly can to maintain and grow that lead.”
The White House is also calling on Congress to provide AI resources to small businesses, such as grants, tax incentives and technical assistance programs to support wider deployment of AI tools across American industry.
Fox News Digital sat for an exclusive interview with Kratsios last year as director of the White House Office of Science & Technology. He reflected on his first year on the job during the interview Thursday.
“The first pillar of our work was around AI innovation, and part of that was to make sure we have a regulatory framework in the United States that provides certainty to our innovators,” Kratsios said. “This legislative framework is a big deliverable and if Congress is able to pass this into law this year it would be a big step forward for the country.”
Sacks told Fox News Digital that the White House team plans to work with Congress to “turn the principles we are announcing today into legislation.”
Kratsios and Sacks have been working with lawmakers over the past few weeks on the effort, including meetings with House and Senate leadership.
“We spoke with the House Majority and Senate Majority leadership, and we think they’ll be excited,” Kratsios said.
In December, President Trump issued an executive order to ensure the National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.
The new framework, according to White House officials, “delivers on the executive order while also expanding workforce and education opportunities to ensure American workers benefit from AI-driven growth.”
