Erica Pandey, Axios; AI's trust collapse
"AI's titans were handed an extraordinary mandate: Police yourselves.
- But the industry faces a four-pronged crisis of trust as Democrats surge to power and many Americans rebel over AI and data centers. Guardrails for the industry will be a priority for the new Congress, with some populist Republicans eager to pile on.
Why it matters: The collision of safety scares, political blows, financial turmoil and leadership scandals threatens to derail AI's once seemingly unstoppable ascent.

Reality check: The AI industry's hurdles are partly growing pains — investors start demanding returns, lawmakers seek accountability, the public grows skeptical.
- The trust collapse echoes the moment social media companies went from Silicon Valley darlings to public enemies. But AI's reckoning — just like its rise — has come much faster."
