Trump reestablishes AI Wild West with executive order

President Donald Trump has eviscerated his predecessor’s plans to regulate artificial intelligence, reverting the industry back to its previous status as a Wild West of possibilities and pitfalls.

“Trump’s executive action on AI rolls back Biden-era attempts to tightly monitor and control the design and governance of new models,” said Daniel Cochrane, a tech policy associate at the Heritage Foundation. “President Trump’s executive actions are a good start to rolling back that dangerous framework. They also clear a path for unleashing American AI innovation.”
