Impact of the New Administration on AI Regulation

The new administration is expected to influence the regulatory landscape of artificial intelligence significantly. With prominent figures known for their techno-libertarian views within the administration, such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, there may be a reduction in federal scrutiny of large tech companies. Adjustments to the Federal Trade Commission's activities could lead to less enforcement against deceptive AI claims regarding security and accuracy. Additionally, the likelihood of a comprehensive national AI law diminishes, reflecting a shift away from protective measures aimed at addressing discrimination and bias commonly discussed in prior administrations.
