How US AI policy might change under Trump

Prabhakar was a key player in passing the president's executive order on AI in 2023, which sets rules for tech companies to make AI safer and more transparent (though it relies on voluntary participation). Before serving in President Biden's cabinet, she held a number of government roles, from rallying for domestic production of semiconductors to heading up DARPA, the Pentagon's famed research department. I had a chance to sit down with Prabhakar earlier this month. We discussed AI risks, immigration policies, the CHIPS Act, the public's faith in science, and how it all may change under Trump. The change of administrations comes at a chaotic time for AI.
