Senator Marsha Blackburn is leading the effort to finalize the legislative text. Three bills are in the package in total, though the exact lineup is still being finalized.\n\nStates have spent the past several years rushing to fill the federal vacuum on AI, passing or advancing rules on deepfakes, algorithmic accountability, and automated decision-making. A three-year federal preemption would hand the industry something it has long wanted: one quieter rulebook instead of fifty competing ones. KOSA has its own complicated history; civil liberties groups have repeatedly argued it would pressure platforms to over-censor to avoid liability, which is part of why it has stalled in previous sessions.\n\nTrading a three-year AI deregulation window for child safety legislation is either shrewd dealmaking or a fairly clear signal about which lobby has the most pull right now.","[\"ai\",\"policy\",\"online-safety\",\"legislation\"]","2026-06-10T21:27:44.000Z","2026-06-10T22:37:48.866Z","2026-06-18T09:53:50.257Z","published",null,[],"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Fwhite-house-ties-ai-preemption-to-kidsonline-safety-bills.webp","policy",[27,25,28,29],"ai","online-safety","legislation",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"The Next Web","https:\u002F\u002Fthenextweb.com\u002Fnews\u002Fwhite-house-ai-preemption-kosa-no-fakes-deal",0,{"sections":36},[37,41,46,51,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100],{"name":38,"slug":27,"count":39,"latest_published_at":40},"AI",2602,"2026-07-18T18:30:00.000Z",{"name":42,"slug":43,"count":44,"latest_published_at":45},"Security","security",315,"2026-07-17T19:30:00.000Z",{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"Deals","deals",179,"2026-06-29T20:02:07.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":25,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Policy",169,"2026-07-17T19:49:53.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Hardware","hardware",126,"2026-07-16T20:09:48.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",94,"2026-07-16T16:29:46.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Software","software",72,"2026-07-17T09:42:05.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Science","science",66,"2026-07-10T10:29:37.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",60,"2026-07-16T16:59:13.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Startups","startups",42,"2026-07-16T16:30:35.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Gaming","gaming",41,"2026-07-09T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"General","general",29,"2026-07-10T22:28:58.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"Reviews","reviews",20,"2026-06-24T12:00:01.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
