In contrast, Trump plans to repeal Biden’s AI executive order, promoting self-regulation and a U.S.-centric approach. This divergence creates uncertainty for businesses regarding AI development and compliance. Experts highlight the need for bipartisan consensus on ethical AI standards, as the election will shape the future of AI policy.
