Trump backs light-touch AI oversight, adviser says
Outgoing Trump adviser Sriram Krishnan says there will be no centralized AI regulator or FDA-style licensing regime under Trump, advocating light-touch, industry-led oversight and a voluntary framework to avoid slowing innovation. The stance comes as the White House has used emergency powers to pause ultra‑advanced models (notably Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s 5.6), and ahead of a 30‑day model-review window established by a recent executive order. Krishnan also argues the AI backlash is fueled by industry messaging and that regular people should see tangible benefits from AI, not just a few powerful firms.
