In a notable shift, technology executives who initially sought government regulation for artificial intelligence to address potential risks have altered their stance. Over the past two years, figures such as Sam Altman of OpenAI expressed concerns about AI's implications for jobs and national security. However, influenced by the Trump administration, major tech companies like Meta and Google are now lobbying for deregulation and government backing, including tax incentives and resources for data usage, positioning AI as a strategic advantage against global competitors.
For just over two years, technology leaders sought regulation to manage the potential of generative AI, emphasizing its risks to jobs, elections, and national security.
Now, under pressure from the Trump administration, these tech leaders seek less regulation and more support, asking for tax breaks and easier access to data and energy.
