UAS News US draws a warning for AI policy from the drone industry: US overregulation hollowed out domestic participation and ceded the market to DJI.
The piece cites NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's G20 Innovation Ministerial remarks that governments should "don't regulate hypothetical, theoretical harm, regulate actual and pragmatic harm," arguing technology advances past rules written for older systems. The core question: can Americans still touch the technology, and will AI repeat the drone outcome at far larger scale?
