Abstract
The article discusses the Trump administration's approach to artificial intelligence (AI) governance, which is framed as deregulation but is characterized as a form of hyper-regulation. The administration's "One Rule" executive order aims to preempt state authority over AI, consolidating federal power while employing various mechanisms such as investment in private firms, immigration controls, and research funding to shape AI policy. This approach emphasizes executive discretion over public accountability, leading to a governance model that prioritizes certain values while marginalizing others. The article argues that this shift represents a significant departure from traditional regulatory frameworks, raising concerns about transparency and democratic oversight in AI governance.
