Trump victory signals major shakeup for US AI regulations

In March, Representative Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) warned that reporting requirements could discourage innovation and prevent developments like ChatGPT. And Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) characterized NIST's AI safety standards as an attempt to control speech through "woke" safety requirements.

With that kind of opposition, the future of the existing Biden-originated AI regulation programs remains unclear. The AISI, despite having a budget and international partnerships, could end with a repeal of Biden's executive order.
