Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 US presidential election is expected to bring significant changes to federal AI policy. He plans to dismantle President Biden's AI Executive Order, which established oversight of AI development. Critics, including Trump supporters in the US government, argue that the order's reporting requirements could discourage innovation and restrict free speech. The future of existing AI regulation programs, such as the US AI Safety Institute, is uncertain. Trump's presidency is likely to have significant implications for the AI industry in the US.

President-elect Donald Trump plans to employ surveillance and artificial intelligence (AI) technology used by the Biden administration to crack down on immigration. The tools include an algorithm that ranks immigrants with a "Hurricane Score" to assess the risk of absconding from supervision, as well as a mobile app called SmartLINK that uses facial matching and geolocation data to track immigrants' specific locations. The use of AI systems in immigration enforcement remains largely unregulated and raises concerns about privacy, civil rights, and potential bias. Over 100 civil society groups have urged the Office of Management and Budget to require compliance with the Biden administration's guidelines on AI use.
