of the 2024 election a live conversation
and Q&A led by axos Pro Tech policy
reporters Ashley Gold and Maria curri
and our moderator senior policy editor
McKenzie wer

profound stakes and impacts of a trump

outcomes could shape the United States

all righty so let's look at the poll
here looks like it's split pretty evenly
but it looks like a lot of you are
keeping an eye on staying up to date on
AI policy regulation and we'll cover the
other three as well so now without
further Ado please welcome our axio Pro
Tech policy reporters Ashley Gold and
Maria Curry and our senior policy editor
McKenzie
wer thanks Michael uh we'll get things
started today with a look at four likely
scenarios uh from this year's election
and the impacts on Tech policy Ashley
and Maria will walk us through a couple
of those and then we're GNA jump to some
of your pres submitted questions but
please know that you can at any time
submit questions in the chat and we'll
get to them uh today or at a future date
um so I guess why don't we jump in and
start right with a trump Victory divided
Congress scenario what do you guys see
happening to Tech policy what do you see
happening on the hill right thanks
McKenzie and thanks to everyone who
tuned in um so if Trump takes the White
House and we have a divided Congress um
we're expecting there to be deadlock on
many of the tech issues privacy section
23 that we have largely been seeing um
but with Trump in the white house we do
expect more of a focus on grievance
based complaints about content and
alleged bias um we also expect a more
hands-off approach on AI controls and as
um they have promised a complete repeal
of the AI executive order I think one
thing that is important to remember
though is that most of that executive
order will already be implemented anyway
um one important provision in there
though that could go away is the
reporting requirement for the most
powerful AI tools which is currently
being implemented um we could also see
uh Trump being more likely to seek to
punish foreign countries for laws that
might take aim at American companies um
whether that's through taxes or other
privacy laws and um and punitive actions
through there if Harris takes the White
House and we continue to have a divided
Congress
um we kind of got a taste of this this
morning um we can see
non-consensual sexual imagery online
being an issue and having you know this
morning we just saw that companies were
asked to sign on to voluntary
commitments and we can continue to see
that issue being really highlighted
under a Harris
Administration um we could also see her
pushing Congress to build on the
executive order with more of an emphasis
on civil rights and privacy and kids
online those two issues will stay top of
mind but the same issues that you know
have plagued these these two issues from
progressing are likely to continue um I
think a lot of people are also waiting
to see how Harris is going to
distinguish herself from Biden on trade
and whether she'll actually pursue deals
that encourage crossb data
flows if we see a trump victory in a
republican sweep of both houses of
Congress um we can expect to see um a
lot of the same same Trends we saw the
the the first time he was in office but
with Republicans at the helm of Congress
um we'll probably see a focus on AI that
is more hands off than what the
Democrats and Republicans have been
working on together a a focus more so on
competing with China and making sure the
US leads on AI and in in my estimation
that will mean pretty lowlevel
regulation and you know insuring
companies can do what they want to do um
that might pose a challenge for the
industry because there's probably going
to be a lack of willingness to spend
money on research and R&D which they've
all said is um necessary for that sort
of competition in AI advancement so we
could see some tensions there due to the
lack of wanting to spend and add to the
deficit um there will be a focus on
social media alleged bias could see Elon
Musk playing a big role in you know
making sure X is the place for
conservatives online to speak freely um
I see companies like YouTube and meta
once again being in the crosshairs of
the White House in Congress uh you know
being written letters being called up to
testify if they take down content that
has to do with um Republican issues
could be vaccines could be um it could
be anything um there will definitely be
um a big focus on China like I said and
probably just in general more of an
isolation perspective when it comes to
you know sort of being on the world
stage with other G7 countries when it
comes to like online freedom and AI
principles and online speech principles
I think it'll be sort of America First
also on the internet rhetoric and a
little less of a Global Perspective
there and um I do expect that the
justice department and the Federal Trade
Commission would be filled with um Le
less aggressive lead ERS um there would
be probably a move back toward a more
traditional sense of antitrust although
I will note that most of the cases going
on today did start under the first Trump
Administration but overall I think the
sort of vision and the goals of a doj
and FTC Under full Republican would
would shift back more toward the pro the
pro bus World um if we get a Harris
Victory and a democratic sweep a lot of
democratic priorities could get get done
that includes the kids online Privacy
Act um the kids online safety act uh
potentially comprehensive primary
legislation uh there should be a lot of
emphasis on protecting civil rights
whether that's through AI bills or other
bills that have to do with deep fakes
sexual images online um could see the
house Judiciary Committee if they're
under Democratic control getting back to
some of the tech antitrust initiatives
that they were working on prior to the
Republican flip and Jim Jordan taking
the lead um and the doj and FTC I think
will continue to be aggressive on
antitrust um because um kamla has been
talking on the trail about monopolies
and big business wanting to reel in big
business and get um prices down for
customers she hasn't really focused on
Tech in that regard but overall um
tackling
monopolies and uh making the economy
fair for people by doing that is is part
of her platform so I don't see her
backing off
there thanks that's a great overview of
of what we can expect next year under
some potential scenarios we do have a
lot of great questions from you guys as
well and and keep them coming in the
chat why don't we just uh head over and
tackle some of those ones that were
submitted in advance um yeah let's head
off into the first key question so what
tech related legislation if any do you
expect to move in the waning days of
the8 Congress if the answer is none and
how could that be uh What typ
legislation will be the top priority in
the 119th Congress so we don't think
nothing's going to pass we think there
will be a sprinkling of activity um most
of all we will see some AI bills pass
likely in the uh the defense bill um
those are AI bills that sort of have to
do with just like setting up research
bodies um making sure or different um
government agencies are thought of as
the go-to for AI research it directs
different um sources of money and
expertise to agencies we already have to
sort of be focusing on AI in a new way
none of the bills that will make the
ndaa at least in our estimation now are
like hugely consequential bills that
would affect how Foundation models work
or how companies can can use their um
their AI technology it's mostly about
sort of fixing the government so that
we're using our AI resources correctly
none of them are like huge um so once we
see the latest ndaa Amendment we'll have
a better idea of which AI bills may pass
like I said before there's a hesitation
on the house side especially from GOP
leadership to spend a lot of money so
the original huge investment Chuck
Schumer wanted to make in AI like he
outlined in his report I I don't see
that money getting out allocated this
year um which will cause problems down
the line um we do think that the
comprehensive privacy bill um APPA is
pretty hopeless for this Congress um
where we might see something actually
happen is kids online privacy
legislation as we reported this morning
there's a lot of um outstanding issues
there and disagreements and it's looking
a little Bleak for the kids online
safety act in Copa 2.0 right now but
it's not dead yet so definitely tracking
that um and other than that um the main
policy issues that we that we track um
whether that's Broadband or 230 nothing
else on the docker for this year that we
we expect to come through uh yeah that's
all right just to um dig a little bit
deeper into the items that are being
pushed for in the ndaa this year some of
those include expanding the use of
multicloud Technology by the defense
department and across the government and
that's particularly in the procurement
of AI systems um you have a big push
right now as well for amendments that
require the use of the nist AI uh risk
management framework um a lot of
amendments in player right now that
would authorize nare and also some
Quantum related um amendments for the
Department of defense's use so those are
some of the items that we could
potentially expect to see in the
NDA great yeah and we'll be tracking all
of that the ndaa year on spending
package add-ons uh in our newsletter so
be sure to keep reading um I think we're
ready for the next question now this is
a fun one what do you think the Legacy
and next steps will be for the chips and
science act so this was um one of the
Biden administration's biggest
accomplishments on the hill and
throughout his first term and it's
something that he touted a lot on the
campaign Trail um but something that a
lot of Republicans are also talking
about as um they run for reelection even
those that didn't vote in favor of it
and so I'm not so sure that for the few
voters that are seeing this as an issue
which is it's not very many that it's
even um being related so directly to
Biden um I think the legacy of the chips
and science Act is really going to
crystallize years from now when you
start to see these investments in these
communities actually result in economic
growth gr and in new jobs but for now
this money is barely just getting rolled
out and it's hard to link that to this
election and to the Biden haris
Administration that being said chips
more broadly in the context of us China
competition we de we did see that come
up very briefly in the debate this week
um so we can expect it to be a talking
point and something that both candidates
will seize on but the chips and science
act itself I don't think is very popular
in the minds of of many voters at least
for now
all right I think we're ready for the
next question then do you see
opportunities to drive stronger
connections between Tech policy and
Workforce policy how might the next
Administration address the growing need
for skilled workers in the tech sector
sure um and if I could just go back I I
don't think I answered the second part
of that question um in terms of next
steps we do expect the implementation
process at the Department of Commerce to
continue largely untouched we don't
think this is something that a bid
administ ation would really get in the
way of one area though that could be
emphasized more is we are expecting
industry groups to push for um extending
and expanding the tax incentives that
are under the law so that is something
to watch out for um on the next question
um there are a lot of opportunities to
Link tech and Workforce policies right
now um there's a massive Workforce
shortage in this country and that's
something that people across the
political Spectrum agree on um and
you're seeing right now a lot of
government company and universities
coming together for these programs to
train people and that's from early
childhood education um through
apprenticeships and I don't see those
being disrupted as you know NSF and all
these various agencies roll them out um
the key is ensuring that these agencies
are actually funded to roll out these
programs and that's where politics kind
of gets in the way as we're seeing
funding fights right now underway um a
lot of these agencies are underfunded
and it's unlikely as Ashley has stressed
that with a republican controlled house
and potentially with a republican
Administration that any more money is
going to be funneled for that um so
that's domestic Workforce the second
aspect of this is high-skilled
immigration um this is again another
opportunity for the administration in
Congress um to make it easier for
skilled immigrants to come and stay in
the US because it's widely known that
the domestic Workforce isn't going to be
enough and it there aren't going to be
trained quickly enough to meet the
moment um but that often gets conflated
and caught up with the very you know
highly politicized conversations around
undocumented migration um and so there
are things in play right now like for
example the stem Talent Act is a
bipartisan bill that there was a big
push to put it into the ndaa but
Republicans objected and so that's one
opportunity that went away um absent
Congressional action there are
regulatory fixes that a future
Administration more likely a Harris one
could take um and one one that I would
note is the 01 Visa this is something
that a future Administration um could
tweak and and improve to make for
example the renewal process after three
years instead of just one and to give um
highly skilled documented workers to
give their spouses work permits that's
something that would help retain High
skilled immigration
great thanks and I'll just also note
yesterday house science Advanced an
array of Workforce uh related bills
related to kind of the AI Workforce so
those are bipartisan movement that could
potentially happen later this year um of
course they're an authorizing committee
and not an appropriation so that just
speaks back to the funding issues at
hand and I think we're ready for the
next
question section 230 of course so on
section 230 how close is Congress to
actually repealing it it feels like
neither candidate has addressed it
recently thoughts on where this debate
May land at Trump or Harris
presidency uh Congress is not close to
repealing section 230 at all I have
covered you know sessions of Congress
where it was all anybody talked about on
a bipartisan basis and it's been pretty
quiet this year there's been a couple
complaints here and there from like
lindsy Graham and a a couple other
members of Congress but section 230 is
not the hot Tech topic dour this year um
it came up in a couple of conversations
around whether section 230 would cover
um output from generative AI but that
was more of an intellectual exercise
than anything um so yeah there's no
bills that
are close to hitting the floor close to
getting through committee that have any
real shot of repealing section 230 um I
think it lost some of its salience as an
issue because there have been multiple
Supreme Court R rulings recently that
either just outright threw out
challenges to section 230 or toss the
issue back to Congress without ruling in
favor in addition there were some state
level bills that got challenged or
blocked by courts that had to do with
Section 230 and in most of those
cases um section 230 ended up coming out
on the other side intact um where it has
uh been weakened a little bit there's
been a couple of cases on on state
levels where lawsuits have been able to
move forward um in the initial defense
of section 230 um didn't stand but that
doesn't really affect section 230 on a
federal level um I think if Trump wins
he'll probably start talking about it
again but he didn't actually repeal it
the first time around and maybe there's
a realization that you know his own
website truth social only exists because
of section 230 um and it's to me it's
always been a more uh convenient talking
point uh for for folks to complain about
the content they see online rather than
uh something that is really going to get
repealed for good I also think um
President Biden cared a little more
about 230 um than a president Harris
would he had advisers like Bruce Reed in
his ear who never liked section 230
wanted to see it gone I I don't see
Harris having the same exact Focus
thanks I think we're ready now uh to
take your questions in the chat you've
already sent in a couple good ones but
please get those to us now if you'd like
us to address any of them uh I think
I'll start with this one uh do you
believe that the next Administration
will make establishing a federal Ai and
data privacy standard a
priority yes um I think every
Administration has I think the question
is will it actually get
done it's always a priority
yes um but you know in AI has definitely
made the conversation a little more
urgent but it's the it's the hardest
thing in the world to get these uh
Federal standards yeah and I think we're
seeing a similar Dynamic with AI or more
states are coming up with their own
bills and the preemption question is
becoming increasingly relevant but I
don't think there is a huge sense of
urgency to you know regulate these
companies when so much Innovation is
happening according to these lawmakers
here in the US and they don't really
want to get in the way of that I think
one area where you know Republicans and
Democrats agree is that there has to be
competition with China and so regardless
of the talking points that each you know
party has I don't see a lot of action to
to regulate AI anytime
soon and then this is probably a
question for you Maria um there's
somebody on this call who's very eager
for insight into prospects for a chips
act to
2.0 we've been asking this for a long
time now I think a lot of people would
love to see a chips 2.0 because you know
the US continues to invest less than
other countries namely China in um you
know the domestic manufacturing
footprint um but at the end of the day
like remember that a lot of the money of
the first chips and science act hasn't
gone out the door and so even if
Congress passed another law with more
chips and um you know chips and science
goals the the actual sub behind it the
funding is still would still be a long
ways off um I think it would be better
to just focus on the the actual law that
has been passed
first and then we've got a question
about uh the digital divide in education
how can Tech policy better address the
digital divide in education ensuring
that all students have access to the
technology and skills necessary to
succeed in a tech driven future are you
tracking anything along those lines yeah
definitely so this is a topic that
really came into Focus during the
pandemic when it became very clear that
a lot of people still didn't have
internet access in this country this is
another area where Republicans and
Democrats came together and passed an
infrastructure bill that dedicated
billions of dollars for
connectivity and you know you fast
forward a few years and now Congress has
allowed the affordable connectivity
program to expire and so we are tracking
that because that's a subsidy that
families get to pay for their internet
bills which then allows students to be
connected online and you know go to
school more
effectively we've got some questions
that are just asking for a little more
detail about prospects for AI
legislation with bipartisan potential
likely in
2025 um could you just speak to any
other bills that you're looking at or
subject matter areas within AI policy
that you think have
real potential next
year um one area is the issue of deep
fakes and um protecting creators online
um and making sure that if you're an
artist you're a singer you're a famous
Tik Tok star there's definitely
bipartisan interest in um making sure
that um generative AI can sort of like
use your likeness and then um other
people can make money off of you so
there's a bill called the no fakes act
that has bipartisan support um Senator
Marsha Blackburn has been champag that
as she represents a lot of like
Nashville singers um so in the
creativity space there's a lot of
there's a big push to um sort of protect
people's name image and likeness uh when
when it comes to generative AI
potentially um sort of profiting off of
it um and then there's the create AI act
and there's a lot of that has to do
setting up air right so that has a lot
of support there's support for just
getting our government agencies in order
getting their money allocated correctly
so they can um help regulate Ai and then
in general um stuff that's already
happening is we've seen the Federal
Trade Commission and other agencies sort
of bring cases against companies for
breaking current laws
while using AI so I think as far as like
actual action goes you'll keep seeing
agencies use the rules on the books to
go after AI companies that are sort of
using AI in new ways that still breaks
rules around surveillance privacy um
Biometrics things like that are there
any other bills you would flag no I
think those are are the main ones I
would also flag that the AI um task
force in the house is going to be coming
out with a report soon um we think
within a couple weeks potentially um
that's going to include a specific list
of bills that are going to be their top
priority for next year the Senate shied
away from this a little bit more in
their um and their road map that they
came out with earlier this year um but
that's going to provide a very good
indicator of where um the house at least
is going to go but um over there you can
also expect a lot of AI related bills
that have to do with competing with
China that's really going to be the the
main
focus great thanks so much I think
