CNBC’s Deidre Bosa joined ‘Money Movers’ to discuss the potential impact of a second Trump administration on the artificial intelligence trade. Bosa notes that artificial intelligence could be “less regulated” and “more volatile” under Trump’s leadership.

Biden’s executive orders sought to tackle new technology threats by requiring developers of powerful AI systems to share their safety test results with the US government and also called on federal agencies to develop guidelines for the responsible use of AI domains. On the other hand, Trump’s allies have been proposing a different executive order that would launch a series of “Manhattan Projects” for developing military technology and immediately review “unnecessary and burdensome regulations” to “Make America Great in AI”.
Trump, however, seems to be only one of the few who thinks imposing guardrails on artificial intelligence could prove detrimental to the US. A poll shared with Time reveals that Americans across the political spectrum are skeptical about the idea that the U.S. should avoid regulating AI to outcompete China. According to a poll by the AI Policy Institute (AIPI), 75% of Democrats and 75% of Republicans believe that “taking a careful controlled approach” to AI is preferable as opposed to “moving forward on AI as fast as possible to be the first country to get extremely powerful AI.”
