White House AI czar David Sacks continues to do the bidding of Big Tech at the expense of regular, hardworking Americans. This federal AI framework seeks to prevent states from legislating on AI and provides no path to accountability for AI developers for the harms caused by their products.

AI Verified The quote clearly criticizes a framework for offering "no path to accountability for AI developers for the harms caused by their products," which implies the author supports holding AI companies responsible for harms caused by their deployed models. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified Verified: TechCrunch on March 20, 2026 prints the exact two-sentence wording you provided and attributes it to Brendan Steinhauser, CEO of The Alliance for Secure AI. The Alliance’s own March 20, 2026 press release carries the same statement in slightly different form (including 'This AI framework' instead of 'This federal AI framework'), while the supplied Route Fifty URL does not show the quote. ([techcrunch.com](https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/20/trumps-ai-framework-targets-state-laws-shifts-child-safety-burden-to-parents/)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 19d ago
AI Verified Source URL returned 403, but web search confirmed the quote. Multiple outlets cite Brendan Steinhauser (CEO of Alliance for Secure AI) making this exact statement criticizing David Sacks and the federal AI framework's preemption of state laws. Vote "for" statement "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards" correctly aligns with his criticism of the framework preventing state-level AI legislation. Year 2026 is current. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
