After President Trump returned to the White House, he repealed former President Biden's executive order that imposed safeguards on artificial intelligence. The implications of this repeal are uncertain, as even supporters from the tech industry express mixed feelings about Biden's lengthy order. While some see potential benefits in reduced restrictions, key studies and recommendations established under Biden are still available for consideration. Industry leaders are optimistic about a collaborative administration, but the direction of AI policy remains ambiguous as discussions around cybersecurity and AI's societal impacts continue.
"I think that the previous order had a lot in it," said Alexandr Wang, the CEO of AI company Scale, describing Biden's 2023 executive order on AI as overly lengthy but declining to name what about it was harmful. "It's hard to comment on each individual piece of it. There's certainly some parts of it that we strongly agree with."
In its early days, Trump's team has already "set the tone for a very productive administration with a lot of deep collaboration between industry and government," Wang said.
The reports have been written and the recommendations generated, and they're available for everyone to build on," said Alexandra Reeve Givens, CEO of the nonprofit Center for Democracy & Technology.
