AI policy remains a major concern for technology companies in the United States. The Biden administration's recent executive order on AI has drawn significant criticism. Notably, Andreessen Horowitz, a prominent venture capital firm, openly announced its support for Trump in this election due to the administration’s AI policies, which it argues are unfavorable to small AI startups.
It will be interesting to see how the Trump administration revises AI policy. With Elon Musk as a key advisor, major changes may be on the horizon in the coming months.
