Four Pages That Could Reshape American AI Policy
Late last month the White House released its National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence. It’s four pages long. Critics immediately dismissed it as empty. They’re wrong, and missing the point.
In the early stages of complex business deals, parties often share their “term sheets,” outlining what they want. This framework is President Donald Trump’s term sheet. It weighs in on the most consequential AI negotiations Congress has ever had.
The Trump administration has been building toward this moment. The President set a pro-innovation AI tone in his first term. At the start of his second, he rejected the Biden administration’s fear-driven approach, replacing it with an AI Action Plan and launching the Genesis Mission. The result: nearly $3 trillion in AI and related tech investment and continued American dominance in AI model development. The framework is the next logical step—translating executive vision into legislation.
