REUTERS/Mike Segar/File PhotoSAN FRANCISCO : Venture capitalists pledging support for Kamala Harris' White House campaign listed priorities in a survey released on Wednesday that include women's reproductive rights, climate change and a friendlier stance toward startups.
Investors and executives said they viewed Vice President Harris, a Californian with ties to Silicon Valley, as a tech-savvy candidate open to engaging with industry. Some 97 per cent wanted leaders who are"knowledgeable about technologies like AI and crypto to build effective regulations," and nearly 92 per cent believed the U.S. government needs to hire more technology talent, the survey results showed.
Aaron Levie, CEO of cloud-computing company Box, said rules for now should focus on applications of technology more than underlying AI models that have yet to mature. Trump has vowed to promote technology rooted in free speech and undo Biden's AI executive order, which critics including Horowitz say is too prescriptive on technical details.
