The White House unveiled a new AI policy framework focusing on state regulation, federal permitting processes for data centers, and child safety. Key points include:
- Congress should limit state AI laws to ensure a uniform national standard.
- Streamline permitting for behind-the-meter installations, particularly for power generation in data centers.
- Mandate parental controls for AI software, setting screen time limits and managing privacy settings.
Google is among major players investing in co-located energy infrastructure in Texas. The policy aims to create regulatory sandboxes to support AI development.
