Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The organization, Innovation Council Action, is championed by tech investor and White House AI advisor David Sacks and is closely aligned with President Donald Trump’s agenda. It plans to support candidates who favor deregulation while opposing those pushing for stricter AI rules. The group has developed a scorecard ranking lawmakers based on their alignment with Trump’s AI agenda. A single federal regulatory framework is being pushed by Trump, instead of a patchwork of state laws. The cavalry is coming to back up the policymakers who stand with the president.
It’s business as usual, with money and influence shaping the political landscape.
