AI and Trump Suffer Major Losses in US Midterms

The recent US midterms have delivered a significant and unexpected victory for the Democrats. However, this success also represents a defeat for big tech and particularly for the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. During these elections, there has been growing concern about the influence of technology companies and their role in society.
