The U.S. just published its first national AI legislative framework. Six pillars: sector-specific regulation, state law preemption, child safety rules, standardized data center permitting, IP guardrails, no new federal agency. The preemption clause is the real story. Dozens of state-level AI bills are now dead on arrival. One federal map replaces fifty competing ones. "Artificial intelligence" is pulling 82M+ engagements in the last 24h across social, with mentions up 12% month-over-month. The policy layer of AI just became the conversation.
