Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

I think that's one of the good things about the administration.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

Much more pro-AI and more interested than were the Biden people.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

The Biden people, you could say they were interested, but they feared it would destroy the whole world.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

And they wanted to choke and throttle it in a variety of ways.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

So I think there's a great number of issues where the Trump people have gone very badly wrong.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

But at least so far, AI is not one of them.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

I'd give them their like A or A+.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

So far, we'll see, right?

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

Yeah.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

There's a number of issues here.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

The first is Trump administration policy toward the FTC, I think, has not been wonderful.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

They appointed someone who seems like would be more appropriate for a Democratic or more left-leaning administration.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

But if you look at the people in the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House, they're excellent.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

And there's always different forces in any administration.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

But again, so far, so good.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

I don't think they should continue the antitrust suit against Google.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

That is looking like it's going against Google.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

But that's not really the Trump administration.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

That's the judiciary.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

And that's been underway for quite some while.
