The White House just pushed for a unified regulatory framework in artificial intelligence. The administration argues that scattered rules across states are slowing down American tech companies. Their pitch? Streamline everything under federal oversight so innovation doesn't get buried in red tape. Critics say this could centralize too much power, but supporters believe it's the only way to keep pace with global competitors who already have coordinated AI strategies. The debate touches blockchain too—decentralized systems might face similar pressure for "one rulebook" treatment down the road.
