"In late July, the President launched his AI action plan. Packaged with three accompanying executive orders, the plan's first order of business is to "remove red tape and onerous regulation," including the overturning of the Biden administration's executive order on AI, which emphasized harm-prevention, guardrails, and government capacity-building. One very specific "guardrail" that the Trump administration has demolished is "woke AI"-AI that is trained to avoid the truth in favor of politically correct shibboleths."
"A whole academic field, called "machine-learning fairness," has appeared in recent decades, aimed at preventing AI from becoming too truthful. One of the three AI executive orders takes aim at this trend, preventing the federal government from promoting AI that is not truth-seeking and ideological neutral. Trump clearly wants an across-the-board push for American AI dominance. It instructs the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to seek information from businesses and the public"
President Donald Trump has launched an AI action plan with three executive orders designed to accelerate AI development by removing regulatory barriers. The plan seeks to overturn the Biden AI executive order that emphasized harm-prevention, guardrails, and government capacity-building. One targeted guardrail is so-called 'woke AI' and the academic field of machine-learning fairness, which the actions aim to prevent from influencing federal AI promotion. The plan directs OSTP to solicit input on restrictive regulations to eliminate them. National security and the desire for global AI dominance, with economic and military advantages, underpin the policy shift.
