The 2024 presidential election is just around the corner, and the tech community is holding its breath. The next president will have a profound impact on the industry, shaping policy on artificial intelligence, antitrust, online speech, and more. From the fate of TikTok to the future of electric vehicles, the candidates' stances on these issues will have far-reaching consequences for startups and tech giants alike.
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has signaled her support for regulating AI, while Republican candidate Donald Trump has promised to repeal Biden's executive order on artificial intelligence. On antitrust, Harris has vowed to crack down on big tech, while Trump has threatened to strip companies of their Section 230 protections.
The election will also determine the future of online speech, with Harris backing the Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act and Trump calling for the repeal of Section 230. The candidates' stances on electric vehicles, crypto regulation, and net neutrality will also have significant implications for the industry.
As the election approaches, startups and tech companies must prepare for the potential changes ahead. Understanding the candidates' positions on these critical issues is crucial for navigating the uncertain landscape of tech policy in 2024 and beyond.
