Trump allies want to “Make America First in AI” with sweeping executive order

Arstechnica · 8m

Former President Donald Trump's allies have reportedly drafted a comprehensive executive order focused on advancing military technology and reducing regulations on AI development. Titled "Make America First in AI," the proposed plan signifies a potential shift in AI policy if Trump were to return to the White House in 2025. The draft order suggests creating "industry-led" agencies to evaluate AI models and protect against foreign threats. It contrasts with the Biden administration's executive order, which imposed safety testing requirements on advanced AI systems. The conservative Heritage Foundation is also developing its own AI policies to enhance US research and development while limiting China's access to the technology.
