Jan 23, 2025, 09:09 PM

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at enhancing U.S. dominance in artificial intelligence (AI), revoking previous policies established by former President Joe Biden that Trump's administration claims acted as barriers to American AI innovation. The new order emphasizes the development of AI systems free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas, with a goal to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security. Trump's directive requires the creation of an AI action plan within 180 days, to be led by a team including David Sacks, the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto. This move comes as part of Trump's broader strategy to ensure U.S. leadership in AI, amidst global competition, particularly with China.
