Tech leaders have shifted from seeking regulations on artificial intelligence to pushing for government support in advancing their products, citing A.I. as a weapon to outpace China. Companies like Meta and Google have asked for the Trump administration to block state A.I. laws and grant them more freedom in using copyrighted material. They have also lobbied for access to federal data, tax breaks, and grants. This change in approach has been spurred on by the Trump administration’s pro-A.I. stance, which aims to establish U.S. leadership in the technology.
However, concerns have been raised by experts about the potential negative impacts of unregulated A.I., including the spread of disinformation and discrimination. The Biden administration and states like California have started to regulate the technology with safety standards, and lawsuits have been filed against tech companies for copyright infringement.
Tech companies are now offering responses to Trump’s executive order on A.I., advocating for the pre-emption of state A.I. laws, and justifying their use of copyrighted material for training models. They argue that requiring regulations could stifle innovation and growth in the industry. On the other hand, civil rights groups and artists are calling for audits of A.I. systems to prevent discrimination and ensure transparency in the use of copyrighted material. The debate over regulation of A.I. continues to intensify as the technology’s influence grows.
