In Silicon Valley, AI founders cheer Trump’s calls for the industry to police itself on safety

During Tech Week in San Francisco, venture capitalists and artificial intelligence founders have expressed strong support for the Trump administration’s approach to industry regulation. The current White House policy favors a hands-off strategy, encouraging the AI sector to oversee its own safety standards rather than adhering to government-imposed mandates.

The industry's positive reception highlights a preference among Silicon Valley leaders for minimal regulatory intervention. By advocating for self-policing, the administration’s stance has been met with enthusiasm from stakeholders who believe this approach fosters innovation and growth within the artificial intelligence field.
