Jan 24, 2025, 01:54 AM

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at positioning the United States as the global leader in artificial intelligence (AI). The order revokes previous AI policies, which Trump claims acted as barriers to American AI innovation. It mandates the development of an AI action plan within 180 days to enhance U.S. dominance in AI, promoting human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security. The order specifically calls for AI systems to be developed free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas. This move follows Trump's earlier decision to rescind an executive order by former President Joe Biden, which had established safety and transparency requirements for AI developers. Trump's order reflects a shift towards less regulation and more emphasis on innovation in the AI sector.
