The article discusses the potential implications of Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 U.S. presidential election on the development and regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
Key points include:- Trump’s coalition is divided on how to govern AI, with some favoring looser regulations to accelerate innovation, while others are concerned about the risks of advanced AI systems. The fate of the U.S. AI Safety Institute (AISI), created by the Biden administration to lead government efforts on AI safety, remains uncertain under a Trump presidency.

Trump is likely to take a more “America-first” approach to AI, focusing on maintaining the U.S. lead over China
