The White House’s “National AI Legislative Framework,” which was published on March 20, 2026, focuses on safeguarding children by mandating safety features to lower the risks of sexual exploitation and self-harm as well as age-assurance mechanisms (like parental attestation) for AI platforms that are likely to be accessed by minors. The framework places a strong emphasis on providing parents with strong tools to regulate their children’s account restrictions, screen time, content exposure, and privacy settings. Notably, it also calls on Congress to refrain from interfering with states’ enforcement of their own generally applicable child protection laws, like those that forbid child sexual assault.

Age-Assurance Conditions: For AI services that are likely to be accessible by minors, the framework requires commercially feasible, privacy-protective age-assurance measures (such as parental attestation).
