“Public safety and innovation will inevitably pull in different directions when it comes to regulations,” said Abhishek Sengupta, Practice Director at Everest Group. “Most nations recognize the criticality of AI in preserving and enhancing their national influence on the global stage. Amidst this, it seems likely that at least in the near term, regulations may cede to the need for immediate AI innovation.”
While industry voices have welcomed the removal of regulatory constraints, some experts warn that the lack of oversight could lead to uneven implementation and governance challenges.
“Deregulation can spark short-term innovation, giving US enterprises the flexibility to experiment and deploy AI at speed,” said Abhivyakti Sengar, Senior Analyst at Everest Group. “However, repealing Biden’s AI executive order risks creating a fragmented landscape with uneven governance standards. Without clear frameworks, enterprises could also struggle to adopt AI responsibly, weakening America’s leadership by fostering inconsistent, patchwork solutions.’”
