Paul Stenhouse: White House releases National AI regulation framework, Amazon reportedly looking to create new phone

The US Government wants to be the ones who control AI regulation   In a new policy document, the White House lays out seven key objectives for the singular US approach to AI. In summary, the framework places significant responsibility on parents for issues like child safety and lays out relatively soft, nonbinding expectations for platform accountability. They say centralizing the policy will remove "unnecessary barriers to innovation" and allow AI policy to reflect national security and foreign policy.   Like we've seen with social media platforms, the framework also tries to prevent any state laws that make the AI developers responsible for their users’ actions. When it comes to copyright, the framework leans on 'fair use'.       Amazon might get back in the phone game   Reuter's is reporting a project known internally as “Transformer” is looking to create a phone. The idea – you've got Alexa at home, so what about taking Alexa with you everywhere? No word on if this would run on Android, or if they'd develop their own operating system.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
