(KWCH) - AI stocks have dropped after the midterm elections. One economic expert says the sell-off has to do with the election results and may be a sign for the industry to slow down and regulate.Larry Straub, professor of management at Newman University, said the sell-off is likely caused by the midterm election results, which saw Democrats win across the country.Some of those candidates had criticized data centers. Straub said markets are concerned that Congress will pass regulations on AI.“I think now that the Democrats are in power, there’s a greater chance of that... most politicians should’ve heard the message this election delivered,” Straub said.Straub also said the sell-off is good for the industry. He said he hopes to see AI develop more carefully.“I think this all needed to be slowed down, that’s what you’re seeing right now. It’s healthy,” Straub said.<h2>AI institute director: Companies will need to change</h2>David Cochran is director of the Newman University AI Institute for the Common Good. The institute focuses on helping people adopt AI responsibly.“For me it’s my retirement investment, like most of us right? Our retirement money is directly impacted...,” Cochran said.Cochran said the drop is a sign of fear among some investors.“I do think it’s just a sign of some investors’ fear about how quickly their investments will pay off,” he said.Cochran does not believe the drop is a sign that the AI “bubble” has popped. He said AI companies will need to change if they want to survive.“Generative AI and agentic AI may play a role in our future, but they might look different than they do now,” Cochran said.For his part, Straub said people who have money in these stocks should ride out the drop. He said the market will recover and people have to give it time.Straub compared the drop to the dot-com bubble burst in the early 2000s. He pointed out that the internet still exists and said the AI industry will likely recover in the same way.</div></body>
