    Concha questions whether AI regulation will take hold given financial incentives

    Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha argued on Fox Business that regulatory efforts will struggle to slow AI industry growth, pointing to the projected $3 trillion market by 2032 and questioning the sincerity of Democratic politicians who may themselves be invested in AI stocks.

    “Until I see people actually scale back and not make money off of AI, the way they have over the past several years, then I'm not going to be buying anything that anybody is saying because there's just too much money to be made.”
