The Trump administration has taken a deregulation and innovative stance. This cannot be considered anything except AI policy, growth, competitiveness and national security. This is a strategic shift from the regulatory framework of the previous administration to promoting private sector growth, strengthening national security applications and maintaining the U.S. competitiveness in AI development. Regulatory restrictions beneficial technological developmentsplus regulators, there is no way to see what innovators see and experience on site every day. This directly leads to useful innovation closures and may allow for potentially harmful innovation advancements.
With the old
The Trump administration’s early moves were before the revocation President Biden’s AI Executive Order (Executive Order 14110). On the surface, it may be viewed as an active policy based on integrated risk reduction measures and regulatory oversight of AI development. In fact, it stifles innovation and slows progress. wE is now moving towards industry-leading governance and voluntary industry standards and several efforts are underway to reduce bureaucracies that mitigate AI adoption, especially in key sectors of healthcare, finance and infrastructure. This AI policy prioritizes military applications and increases investment in defense, cybersecurity and intelligence.
AI Tsar
Tech Investor and Entrepreneur David Sacks has been appointed “Ai&Crypto Czar” Oversee AI and cryptocurrency policies. However, this is only a part-time role as he will maintain his position in the private sector in his VC fund. His main influence is President Trump’s main adviser to policy decisions related to AI and crypto. They need someone who is inserted into the world 24/7/365. You can’t have professional politicians or bureaucrats that offer advice in dynamic and potentially disruptive areas like AI and cryptocurrencies. Sack’s approach is expected to focus on market-driven innovation, open source AI development, and reducing regulatory restrictions on entrepreneurship.
Minimal AI adjustment
The government’s position is unwavering, which is conducive to minimal AI regulation Artificial Intelligence Action Summit It was held in Paris earlier this month. The summit, co-chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, brings together global AI leaders, policy makers, industry experts and civil society representatives to address the future of AI governance, sustainability and ethics.
There is a particular focus on stipulating and developing international cooperation frameworks for AI and sustainable development. One result is Joint Statement on Inclusion and Sustainability AISigned by 58 countries, including France, India, China and the European Union (EU). The statement outlines the principles of transparency and accountability in AI systems, equitable access to AI technologies, and mitigating AI-driven risks, including work displacement and bias. The U.S. representative, led by Vice President JD Vance, refused to sign the joint declaration. Their position is one of the smallest AI regulations, believing that excessive regulations will kill innovation and slow AI progress. Vice President Vance opposes the inclusion of China in AI governance discussions on the grounds of national security risks.
“The Trump administration believes that AI will have countless revolutionary applications in economic innovation, job creation, national security, health care, free expression, and more,” Vance said. “Limiting its development will not only unfairly benefit incumbents in this field – which means paralyzing one of the most promising technologies we have passed on from generation to generation.”
The meaning of the American position is:
- Industry growth is stronger due to less regulation, accelerating AI innovation and greater domestic investment
- Potential regulatory breakdown and the rise of trade barriers in the EU and other AI-popular economies
- Geopolitical tensions increase with EU and Asian allies signing global AI deals
The U.S. government’s AI policies will prioritize growth, innovation, competitiveness and national security rather than regulatory oversight. This approach could benefit our country’s AI ecosystem and strengthen U.S. leadership in AI. This has also attracted attention to moral hazard, consumer protection and potential global regulatory conflicts. Moving forward, through industry-led governance programs and standards, the industry needs to remain ahead of internal medicine and foreign regulators.
One of the goals Vance mentioned is to “release” the smartest innovators America must provide. While it’s great on the surface, we have to consider the few unexpected consequences of technical regulation. Who will weaponize the interests of the people? The behavior of liars, thieves and all bad actors. How do we cause these people and their destruction to the United States and its citizens with little or no regulations? As a leader in this field, you must be consistent and persist in constant training, self-verification, self-regulation and creating ethical principles for yourself and your industry peers. If the industry fails to regulate and regulate itself, we can be sure that politicians eager to have power will seize the opportunity to formulate heavy regulations and declare “we tell you” from their upp.
