WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the White House unveiled its long-awaited National AI Policy Framework. This framework is intended to draw the contours of what a federal standard around Artificial Intelligence should look like that would preserve America’s ability to lead and win in the global AI race.
James Czerniawski, Head of Emerging Technology Policy at Consumer Choice Center, an independent consumer advocacy group, applauds the administration’s framework.
“We commend the Trump administration for launching its National AI Policy Framework. Over the last several years, state lawmakers have introduced thousands of AI-related bills that would regulate the technology under nearly every imaginable scenario, weakening America’s ability to stay competitive and lead the global AI race,” said Czerniawski.
“This framework strikes the right balance: respecting states’ rights, protecting children, defending free speech, promoting energy dominance for American consumers, and clarifying the federal government’s role in this critical debate. The next generation of technology deployed worldwide should come from the United States, and this framework gives Congress a clear path to help make that happen.”
In 2025, more than 1,100 state-level bills targeting AI design and application were introduced, and nearly a quarter of them originated in four states: New York, California, Colorado, and Illinois. These states have a long history of pushing aggressive and often burdensome tech regulations, and the Consumer Choice Center has supported the administration in being proactive in pushing back on a policy area of existential importance.
Czerniawski concluded, “New consumer AI products are rolling out every day, and that sector will be brought to a halt, freezing all their productivity gains and creative potential, if a small handful of regressive anti-tech states implement over-the-top regulations. When it comes to technology, what one large state does, such as California or New York, impacts consumers in all 50 states.”
