• The return of Donald Trump to the White House and potential Republican control of Congress could shift the focus of AI policy toward innovation over regulation.
• Antitrust policy may see a pivot under Republican leadership, with a likely slowdown in aggressive actions against Big Tech firms.
• Cryptocurrency policy could lean toward less stringent regulation, focusing on fostering innovation in blockchain technology and digital currencies.
• With Republicans potentially controlling both chambers of Congress, expect more tech policy initiatives aligned with conservative principles, including reducing regulatory burdens on tech companies and fostering economic growth.
