BINDEN vs TRUMP APPROACH TO Ai
In October 2023, President Joe Biden issued an executive order titled "Safe, Secure, and
Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence."
This directive aimed to establish a
comprehensive framework for AI governance, emphasizing the protection of individual rights, national security, and the promotion of responsible innovation.
Key provisions included mandatory safety testing for high-risk AI systems, the appointment of chief AI officers in major federal agencies, and initiatives to prevent AI-enabled threats to civil liberties and national security.
Upon assuming office on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump rescinded this executive order, citing concerns that it imposed excessive regulatory constraints on AI development. The Trump administration argued that the previous order hindered innovation and economic competitiveness. In its place, President Trump signed Executive Order 14179, titled "Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence," which seeks to promote rapid AI advancement by eliminating perceived regulatory obstacles and emphasizing a market-drive approach to AI development.
This policy shift reflects a broader debate between ensuring safety and ethical considerations in AI and fostering innovation and economic growth. The rescission of Biden's executive order underscores the Trump administration's prioritization of reducing regulatory burdens to maintaining global AI leadership.
