Trump Revokes Biden's EO on AI, Increasing Risk to Americans

WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Donald Trump has revokedformer president Joe Biden's Executive Order (EO) to reduce the risks that Artificial Intelligence (AI) pose to the public and to the nation. In response, Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, issued the following statement:

"The tech libertarian extremists surrounding Trump want to eliminate artificial intelligence regulation not to speed innovation but to boost profits. The Biden executive order on AI aimed to make AI not just safer, but better. Smart regulation and public-minded investments promote innovation and an AI that serves people, not just giant corporate interests. The rollback of the executive order is a giant handout to Trump's new techbro friends - paid for by the rest of us."
