I unveiled the discussion draft for the TRUMP AMERICA AI Act—comprehensive legislation that would create one federal rulebook for AI. This bill answers President Trump’s call for national AI standards while ensuring that America wins the global race for AI supremacy.
Advance and support legislation to create one federal rulebook and national standards for artificial intelligence through the TRUMP AMERICA AI Act.
Occurrences
Evidence
The draft is marked 119th Congress, 2d Session, says Mrs. Blackburn introduced the bill, and gives the short title as the TRUMP AMERICA AI Act.
Axios reported that Blackburn released an updated federal AI policy draft and quoted her saying Congress must establish one federal rulebook for AI.
The order says the Administration must act with Congress to ensure a minimally burdensome national standard and directs a legislative recommendation for a uniform federal AI framework.
The White House said the framework can succeed only if applied uniformly and that it looked forward to working with Congress to turn it into legislation.
Blackburn Amendment No. 2814 was agreed to 99-1; its purpose was to strike the section relating to support for artificial intelligence. Blackburn voted yea.
Assessments
Blackburn materially advanced the TRUMP AMERICA AI Act as a discussion draft and publicly supported the one-federal-rulebook objective during her current Senate term. However, the evidence shows the proposal remained draft or recommendation-stage legislation, and no federal AI rulebook or national AI standards were enacted. Because this was a serious legislative attempt that did not deliver the promised statutory outcome, it is best scored as never with an effort badge.
