President-elect Donald Trump has promised to repeal an executive order issued by the Biden administration that outlines policies for federal use of artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to introduce safeguards and ensure equity in AI applications. Trump’s platform critiques Biden’s AI policies, describing them as stifling innovation and overly influenced by “radical left-wing” ideologies.
Biden’s executive order, which mandates that federal agencies ensure AI does not harm rights or exacerbate biases, has led to new guidance on AI’s use in areas like healthcare and national security. For example, AI applications in the Department of Veterans Affairs must avoid bias in diagnoses. However, some Republicans, including Trump, have expressed concern over the anti-bias provisions and regulatory burdens, arguing they could hinder AI development.
Trump’s administration is expected to reevaluate the AI executive order, possibly eliminating provisions related to equity. The former Trump official and experts anticipate that the new administration might speed up AI adoption across federal agencies, potentially reducing oversight and reversing equity-focused policies.
Some critics worry about the risks of weakening AI governance. While Congress may push for AI-specific legislation, the situation remains fluid, with debates over the balance between innovation, regulation, and protecting civil liberties.
In summary, Trump’s planned repeal of Biden’s AI order reflects broader tensions about how to balance AI’s potential with concerns over bias, rights, and government regulation. The future of federal AI governance is uncertain, with some fearing a patchwork of state laws and inconsistent policies at the national level.
