If Donald Trump is re-elected as the US president in November, it could have significant implications for the development of artificial intelligence (AI). While the dangers of poorly designed AI models continue to grow, Trump’s election could potentially remove the guardrails that have been put in place to protect Americans from these risks.

However, Trump has promised to repeal this order, with the Republican Party platform stating that it hinders innovation and imposes left-wing ideas on AI development. This promise has been welcomed by critics of the executive order, including Trump’s allies such as Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen, who see it as illegal and a hindrance to America’s competition with China in the digital realm.
