The US’ Economic Future in the Era of AI
This report analyzes the economic impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States (U.S.) amidst a significant policy shift under the Trump-Vance administration, which prioritizes competitiveness and national security over previously emphasized principles of responsible AI. Drawing on insights from U.S. policymakers and experts, it explores three key areas: the strain AI places on energy infrastructure, its disruption of the labor market, and the challenges of governance in the absence of strong federal regulation. The report concludes by urging a coordinated, whole-of-economy approach to AI—focused on clean energy, inclusive labor strategies, and adaptive, risk-based regulation to ensure broad-based economic resilience and prosperity. This paper was written by Claudia Del Pozo, Founder and CEO of the EON Institute, who recently participated in our study tour focused on the “Economic Power of AI,” where she engaged with leading AI experts from various sectors.
