Trump Revokes Biden's AI Safety Order on First Day Back in Office
The order, which established safeguards for AI development, is removed as Trump prioritizes deregulation and industry-led innovation.
- Trump rescinded Biden's 2023 Executive Order on AI safety, which aimed to mitigate risks associated with AI technologies, including bias, discrimination, and national security threats.
- The revoked order required AI developers to share safety test results with the government and directed federal agencies to establish safety standards for AI systems.
- Trump's administration argues that the order hindered innovation and imposed restrictive policies, aligning with the Republican platform's stance on deregulation.
- Experts suggest the repeal may lead to an unregulated AI landscape in the U.S., contrasting with stricter global frameworks like the EU AI Act.
- Industry leaders, including CEOs of major tech companies, have shown support for Trump's deregulatory approach, signaling a shift toward self-regulation in the technology sector.
