The White House on March 20 released a national AI policy framework with seven legislative pillars, urging Congress to preempt state-level AI regulations and establish a single federal standard. The framework arrives one day after Crypto.com cut 12% of its workforce, citing enterprise-wide AI integration, and weeks after Block and Gemini made similar moves.

The White House framework calls those efforts a “patchwork” that threatens national competitiveness. Michael Kratsios, Assistant…
