Silicon Valley backed Trump to kill AI regulation, now the industry is begging for rules

General News

Summary

The article covers a sharp reversal in Silicon Valley’s stance on AI regulation after Trump-era deregulation created uncertainty. AI executives now want a formal framework because ad hoc export controls and launch restrictions are affecting model releases and business planning. The White House has already imposed and partially rolled back controls on Anthropic’s models and has forced OpenAI into a government-approved partner model launch. The industry is now pushing Washington to codify clearer rules through executive order or legislation to replace the current patchwork approach.
