Trump Revokes Biden’s Executive Order on AI Safety and Trustworthiness

Executive Order Revocation:
President Donald Trump has revoked Executive Order 14110, signed by former President Joe Biden in October 2023, which aimed to establish standards for the safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of artificial intelligence (AI)2 4.

Biden's Order:
Biden's executive order focused on eight key areas, including AI safety and security, privacy, equity and civil rights, supporting consumers and workers, innovation and competition, American leadership, and government use of AI1 4.

Trump's Approach:
The Trump administration is expected to take a more deregulated approach to AI, emphasizing innovation and less regulatory oversight, which has been criticized by experts who argue that this could compromise AI safety and trustworthiness2 3.

Impact on AI Governance:
The revocation of Biden's order signals a shift in the U.S. government's approach to AI governance, potentially leading to less stringent safety and security standards for AI development and deployment3 5.

Industry and Expert Reactions:
The repeal has drawn criticism from various stakeholders, including the Center for Democracy and Technology, which highlighted the importance of responsible AI innovation and the need for robust safety and security measures2 3.

Remaining AI Policies:
Some of Biden's AI-related initiatives remain in place, including a recent executive order aimed at supporting AI infrastructure development with clean energy sources and a year-old AI Safety Institute focused on national security2 3.
