President Donald Trump signed an executive order on artificial intelligence Thursday aimed at revoking past government policies that are perceived as hindrances to American AI innovation. The order emphasizes the importance of developing AI systems free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas to maintain global leadership in AI technology.
The executive order does not specify which existing policies are impeding AI development but calls for a review of all policies, directives, regulations, and orders resulting from former President Joe Biden's comprehensive AI executive order of 2023, which Trump rescinded on Monday. Any actions from the Biden era that do not align with Trump's directive for AI to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security must be suspended.
