Trump wastes no time quashing Biden AI, EV executive orders
Briefly

In a decisive move, President Trump revoked nearly 80 executive orders from the Biden administration on his first day, notably targeting the AI safety and electric vehicle (EV) mandates. The rescinded executive orders included directives for the creation of AI safety standards to mitigate risks associated with disinformation and military use of AI. The Republican Party's 2024 platform criticized these regulations as hindering innovation. Notably, Trump's actions did not affect export controls on AI hardware, and shares for major producers remain strong, reflecting a complicated industry response to the policy changes.
Trump's swift repeal of Biden's executive orders on AI and electric vehicles marks a clear shift in U.S. policy, prioritizing deregulation and traditional innovation.
The elimination of Biden's AI safety standards raises concerns over ethical use of technology and its potential for abuse, especially in military and civilian contexts.
The Republican Party's 2024 platform labels previous AI regulations as 'dangerous,' championing a transition to policies fostering innovation without oversight.
Despite the revocation of safety measures, major AI hardware companies like Nvidia and AMD have seen stock increases, indicating a complex industry reaction.
