Trump Revokes Biden's AI Safety Order Amid Broader Deregulation Move

Jan 21, 2025, 08:59 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 (AI) to consumers, workers, and national security. Biden's order required AI developers to share safety test results with the U.S. government before public release, in line with the Defense Production Act. Trump's decision to rescind this order was part of a broader move to reverse nearly 80 of Biden's executive actions, signaling a significant policy shift towards less regulation of AI development. The move has sparked a debate between those who fear it could hinder safety and fairness in AI and others who view it as a step towards fostering innovation.
