Regulatory Reset: Trump Rescinds Biden's Executive Order on AI Safety

President Donald Trump has rescinded the Biden administration’s sweeping executive order regulating AI, marking a significant shift in federal oversight for the rapidly advancing technology.

Bloomberg reports that in a move that signals a drastic change in the federal government’s approach to regulating artificial intelligence (AI), President Donald Trump has rescinded the Biden administration’s comprehensive executive order on AI. The announcement, made on Monday, immediately halts the implementation of key safety and transparency requirements for AI developers, which were put in place by the Biden administration in 2023.

The now-rescinded executive order had mandated leading artificial intelligence companies to share critical information, such as safety test results, for powerful AI systems with the federal government. It had also led to the establishment of the US AI Safety Institute under the Commerce Department, tasked with creating voluntary guidelines and best practices for the use of AI technology.
