AFPI: National Framework Will Help Ensure American AI Dominance

Washington, DC — The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) released the following statement from Yusuf Mahmood, Director of AI and Emerging Technology, in response to President Trump's newly announced national AI legislative framework:

"We commend President Trump on publishing the National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence. It includes America First recommendations that will ensure American AI dominance and preserve key areas of state sovereignty.

Protecting children and families, deregulating AI infrastructure while safeguarding household energy bills, defending the American worker, preventing future government censorship, and empowering our national security agencies to collaborate on frontier technologies are all essential to any federal AI framework. Now it is time for Congress to further develop and codify these common-sense policies."

AFPI has long aligned with President Trump’s call for a national AI framework and looks forward to helping advance this agenda. AFPI continues to develop specific legislative recommendations in many of these areas, including infrastructure deregulation, AI censorship and transparency, child safety, tracking AI’s workforce impacts, and AI capacity in national security.
