- President Trump is fully committed to AI — described as 'all gas, no brakes' — with zero interest in hand-wringing over dystopian risks or public opposition.
- Democrats are deeply conflicted on AI, expressing skepticism toward the labs and being spooked by their own warnings, but internally split over whether to shut AI development down entirely.
Why it matters: Trump's full-throttle AI push meets a Democratic Party unable to coalesce between skepticism and outright shutdown, leaving Washington without a unified federal direction on a technology that is advancing regardless.
