Trump Revokes Biden's 2023 AI Safety Order Impacting National Security and Consumers

Jan 21, 2025, 01:50 AM

President Donald Trump has revoked a 2023 executive order signed by Joe Biden aimed at reducing the risks posed by artificial intelligence to consumers, workers, and national security. The order, signed by Biden in October 2023, required developers of AI systems that could impact national security, the economy, public health, or safety to share safety test results with the U.S. government before public release, in line with the Defense Production Act. It also directed federal agencies to establish standards for AI testing and address related chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and cybersecurity risks. Trump's decision to rescind the order aligns with the Republican Party's stance against what it views as hindrances to AI innovation, advocating instead for AI development rooted in free speech and human flourishing.
