White House, Hill Relaunch Push to Preempt State AI Laws

TL;DR
The White House and Sen. Marsha Blackburn are reviving a package to preempt state AI laws, pairing preemption with child-safety and anti-deepfake measures (KOSA, NO FAKES Act) and age-verification requirements; Blackburn leads negotiations, and the package aims to avoid blanket pre-emption, contrasting with the Obernolte-Trahan bill. The White House is also meeting with AI companies to discuss benchmarking after a recent AI/cyber executive order, signaling renewed policy jockeying ahead of August recess.
