Trump's Deregulatory AI Order
President Trump's new executive order dramatically reverses President Biden's approach to AI regulation, prioritising deregulation and rapid technological advancement to maintain US global dominance in the field. Trump's order removes many safety and ethical guidelines, contrasting sharply with Biden's emphasis on risk mitigation and international collaboration. This shift could benefit AI developers with increased freedom but raises concerns about potential ethical lapses and security risks. The timing coincides with the Stargate Initiative, a major AI development programme, further highlighting the administration's commitment to rapid, minimally-regulated AI growth. This approach contrasts strongly with the more cautious regulatory frameworks adopted by other leading nations, like the EU, potentially leading to international fragmentation.
