Candice’s Current Thinking
Weekly analysis and perspectives on the AI and policy landscape.
THIS WEEK IN AI
Each week I synthesize the key developments in AI and public policy so you don't have to. Here's what I'm watching:
• President Trump announced Nvidia will be allowed to sell H200 chips to China with a 25% cut for the U.S. government
• The administration signed an executive order challenging state AI regulations, prompting pushback from state lawmakers
• The federal government launched U.S. Tech Force to hire more engineers and DOD launched GenAI.mil
Taken together, this week's developments underscore critical priorities for tech companies: addressing national security concerns from Congress, navigating competing federal and state regulatory priorities, and deepening government partnerships.
