  • Hours after returning to the White House, President Donald Trump made a symbolic mark on the future of artificial intelligence by repealing former President Joe Biden's guardrails for the fast-developing technology.

The article from Newsday discusses former President Donald Trump's pledge to repeal President Joe Biden's executive order on artificial intelligence (AI) if he wins the 2024 election. Trump's criticism centers on Biden's AI executive order, which aims to establish guidelines for AI development, focusing on safety, security, privacy, and civil rights. Trump argues that these regulations could stifle innovation and economic growth, positioning his stance as one that favors less government intervention in tech industries. The executive order by Biden, signed in October, seeks to ensure that AI technologies are developed in a manner that is safe, secure, and trustworthy, addressing concerns like AI bias, privacy, and the potential for AI to be used in harmful ways. Trump's promise to undo these regulations reflects his broader policy of deregulation, which he believes would foster a more competitive environment for American businesses in the global AI race.
