Experts expect less regulation and a watchful eye on China, but not an AI free-for-all
As the technology sector prepares for the upcoming presidency of Donald Trump, experts are weighing in on what his approach to artificial intelligence (AI) regulation may mean for the industry.
While Trump takes office with a reputation for reduced oversight, analysts anticipate that the landscape for AI will not be a complete departure from current practices. In fact, many technology firms are adopting a wait-and-see approach regarding how Trump’s policies will unfold.
Industries are particularly concerned about keeping pace with Chinese competitors. Companies are expected to drive innovation while simultaneously monitoring global advancements in AI technologies.
According to a tech analyst, ‘The shift towards less stringent regulation under Trump could allow for faster development and deployment of AI solutions.’
However, the analyst cautioned that this does not mean an unregulated environment. ‘There will still be frameworks to ensure ethical AI use, especially in sensitive areas such as data privacy and security,’ they added.
With great innovation potentially on the horizon, the balance between progress and responsibility is set to become a major theme as companies navigate the transition of leadership.
