Undoubtedly, the victory of Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election of the United States of America will be a fundamental change in the artificial intelligence policies of this country.
Trump has announced his intention to rescind Joe Biden’s artificial intelligence executive order issued in October 2023; Joe Biden’s executive order created extensive oversight of artificial intelligence development. In this regard, Joe Biden founded the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute to oversee AI-related matters and required companies to provide information about AI training methods, security protocols and vulnerability testing data.
Also, this order mandated the National Institute of Standards and Technology of the Ministry of Commerce to develop safety standards for artificial intelligence.
These actions were criticized by Trump’s allies, Nancy Mays and Ted Cruz; Trump’s allies believe that these measures could limit innovation and impose excessive controls.
With the cancellation of Biden’s artificial intelligence regulations, what future awaits America?
If the Biden administration’s AI regulations are repealed, Trump’s proposed trade policies may affect AI development. For example, his proposed tariffs on imports, specifically a 60 percent tariff on Chinese goods, could disrupt the AI industry’s access to essential technologies such as graphics cards that are critical to AI training.
Trump’s other political stances could also affect the AI industry. His plan to tighten H-1B visa issuance and increase domestic oil and gas production may limit AI companies’ ability to attract foreign talent and access to computing resources.
Although Trump has talked about supporting AI for “free speech and human flourishing,” he has yet to spell out his approach. His allies at the America First Institute have pointed to a new executive order that would prioritize advances in military artificial intelligence.
