President-elect Donald Trump has stated his intention to repeal President Joe Biden's key artificial intelligence policy upon his return to the White House for a second term. The implications of this decision on the future of AI technology are uncertain, leaving government scientists and AI experts from various countries seeking clarity. This week, officials from the U.S. and its allies, including Australia, Canada, Japan, Kenya, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, are convening in San Francisco to discuss AI safety measures.
The agenda of the meeting focuses on addressing challenges such as detecting and combating AI-generated deepfakes that contribute to fraud, harmful impersonation, and sexual abuse. This gathering follows the agreement reached at an AI summit in South Korea earlier this year, where world leaders committed to establishing a network of publicly supported safety institutes to advance AI research and testing.
