During his confirmation hearing, Howard Lutnick, nominated by President Trump to lead the Department of Commerce, stressed the importance of competitive U.S. tech policies to ensure leadership in artificial intelligence. He highlighted the need for prioritizing innovation over heavy regulations and expressed strong support for existing agency efforts, particularly from the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST). Lutnick advocates for a 'light-touch' regulatory model that fosters innovation and aligns U.S. standards with global practices, aiming to enhance American technological superiority.
Let's just unleash America for the benefit of America. I think we've been too constrained for too long. That's over. It needs to be all about American ingenuity.
I think NIST has some of the greatest scientists in the world, and they understand AI technology, quantum technology... I think we should try to have a light-touch model.
