The ban was ultimately struck down, but the AI industry continues to fight against a &ldquo;patchwork of regulations,&rdquo; which they say would slow down innovation and put the U.S. at risk of losing the AI race to China.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The group hopes to mirror its approach on pro-crypto super-PAC network Fairshake, which helped cement a victory for Donald Trump. It will generally align with the policies of White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks, per The Journal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Got a sensitive tip or confidential documents?
