President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday aimed at reshaping the United States’ approach to artificial intelligence (AI). This new directive revokes existing government policies that Trump claims “act as barriers to American AI innovation.

President Trump has revoked a 2023 executive order signed by former President Biden that sought to reduce the potential risks AI poses.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order related to AI to "make America the world capital in artificial intelligence," his aide told reporters in the White House's Oval Office.

President Trump says he likes Biden's idea to open up federal lands for AI data centers. His White House is looking for ways to ensure U.S. dominance in the sector.

Much of Biden's order set in motion a sprint across government agencies to study AI's impact on everything from cybersecurity risks to its effects on education, workplaces, and public benefits.

Donald Trump axed all that yesterday as he signed a flurry of new executive orders. One of his first actions was to rescind 78 Biden-era executive actions, including Executive Order 14110 on “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.”

The differences between the two administrations are largely rhetorical, Dominique Shelton Leipzig writes in a guest commentary.
