Executives at frontier AI companies find the Trump administration's ad hoc approach to model oversight more damaging than Biden's proposed policies. The rapid shift follows Silicon Valley donations from billionaires who warned Biden's AI safety rules would stifle innovation, but now face uncertainty under Trump's inconsistent regulatory approach.
