The order reverses a Biden-era executive order that Mr. Trump claims imposed excessive government regulations on AI development and stifled private sector innovation, according to a White House news release.
Here are four things to know about the executive order:
- The new directive calls for federal agencies to review and rescind policies implemented under the Biden order that are deemed obstacles to AI progress.
- The executive order outlines a plan to enhance America’s AI capabilities, emphasizing the need to ensure AI systems are free from ideological biases.
- It also directs the creation of an “AI Action Plan” led by top White House advisors, including the assistant to the president for science and technology and the national security advisor. Additionally, the Office of Management and Budget will revise federal guidelines to eliminate barriers to AI adoption and innovation.
- “America must act decisively to maintain leadership in AI and strengthen both our economy and national security,” the order states.
