Here’s where the factions stand on Trump’s AI deregulation:
- CLs: Go for it! Get government off the back of business and watch the economy fly!
- PBPs: We’re not sure exactly where AI is going, but we’re sure it will reduce our labor costs and boost profits. Count us in.
- CDs: This looks like a rerun of globalization. Big business will make huge profits, and workers will get the shaft. Plus, AI will be used by perverts and fraudsters against decent American citizens. We need sensible regulation before we let the big dog eat.
- Reactionaries: Making a handful of tech entrepreneurs even wealthier at the expense of American workers doesn’t sound like a great idea, and we share the CDs concerns about perverts and fraudsters.
Trump has clearly sided with the CLs and the PBPs against the base on this issue. Expect it to be discussed extensively in the 2028 primaries.
