AI is valuable as the US faces an aging population and a shrinking labor force, Veitch said. With skilled workers harder to find and expensive to hire, AI can replace call centers or assist admissions teams, offering cost-effective solutions. For example, Notre Dame de Namur’s admissions team uses generative AI to follow up on enrollment requests.
Trump’s executive order prioritizes “sovereign AI” affecting the private market, while shifting most regulatory oversight to state and local governments. For example, New York plans to restrict government use of AI for automated decisions without human monitoring, while Colorado’s new AI law, effective in 2026, will require businesses to inform consumers when they’re interacting with AI, Gartner’s Jones said.
The revocation of Biden’s 2023 order reduces federal oversight of model development, removing requirements such as submitting safety training results or sending notifications about large-scale computer cluster acquisitions, which could encourage faster innovation, according to Jones. “Thus, it was not a surprise to see the Stargate announcement and the related public-private commitments,” she said.
