Former President Donald Trump has revoked President Joe Biden's executive order on artificial intelligence (AI), marking a notable shift in U.S. AI policy. Trump's new initiative, titled 'Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence,' aims to reshape the regulatory landscape surrounding AI. This decision is expected to have significant implications for technology policy and investment in the sector. While Trump has reversed many of Biden's policies, he has chosen to retain one key AI measure from the previous administration. Critics have raised concerns that this shift may benefit tech billionaires while potentially harming workers and marginalized communities. The move signals a broader realignment of federal AI governance as Trump seeks to establish a new direction for the industry.
