What remains unresolved
- Base path
- Legislative debate continues without imminent restrictive federal statutes, maintaining current pace of enterprise deployment.
- Adverse path
- Mandatory frontier model licensing requirements create compliance delays, slowing downstream enterprise AI adoption.
- Supportive path
- Voluntary industry standards emerge without statutory compute caps, preserving current AI hardware delivery timelines.
