Trump Revokes Biden's 2023 AI Safety Order, Citing Hindrance to Innovation
Jan 21, 2025, 05:21 AM
U.S. President Donald Trump has revoked a 2023 executive order signed by his predecessor, Joe Biden, which aimed to mitigate the risks posed by artificial intelligence to consumers, workers, and national security. Biden's order mandated that developers of AI systems that could pose risks to national security, the economy, public health, or safety share their safety test results with the U.S. government before public release, in line with the Defense Production Act. It also required federal agencies to establish standards for AI safety testing and address related risks. Trump's decision to rescind this order aligns with the 2024 Republican Party platform, which criticized the order for hindering AI innovation and advocated for AI development that supports free speech and human flourishing. The move comes amidst growing concerns about the impact of generative AI on jobs and other potential negative consequences.
