Impactful Policy Frameworks
Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (October 2023)
This comprehensive EO directs federal agencies to develop new standards for AI safety and security, protect privacy, promote innovation and competition, and ensure responsible AI use.
This policy will increase compliance burdens and due diligence requirements for AI startups, potentially shifting investment towards AI models with demonstrable safety and ethical considerations.
CHIPS and Science Act (August 2022)
This Act provides $52.7 billion in funding for American semiconductor research, development, manufacturing, and workforce development, aiming to bolster domestic chip production and supply chain resilience.
The CHIPS Act directly stimulates investment and innovation in hardware and deep tech companies, creating more opportunities for VCs like Hyperplane to back ventures in areas like robotics and AI infrastructure.
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (Proposed, 2022)
This bipartisan bill aims to prevent dominant online platforms from unfairly disadvantaging competing businesses that use their platforms, impacting how tech giants operate and potentially fostering a more level playing field.
While still proposed, this policy could reduce the market power of large tech companies, potentially benefiting early-stage startups by creating more opportunities for competition and innovation without being stifled by incumbents.
