WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump signed an artificial intelligence executive order on Thursday to “make America the artificial intelligence capital of the world,” an aide told reporters in the Oval Office of the White House.
The order sets a 180-day deadline for artificial intelligence Action (WA:) Plan to create policy “to maintain and strengthen America’s global AI dominance to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security.”
Trump also told his artificial intelligence adviser and national security assistant to work to remove policies and regulations put in place by former President Joe Biden.
On Monday, Trump rescinded a 2023 executive order signed by Biden that sought to reduce the risks artificial intelligence poses to consumers, workers and national security.
Biden’s order requires developers of AI systems that pose risks to US national security, the economy, public health or safety to share the results of security tests with the US government, in accordance with the Defense Production Act, before they are released to the public.
