President Trump repeals Biden’s AI executive order

3 min read During his first day in office, President Donald Trump revoked a 2023 executive order signed by former President Joe Biden that sought to reduce the potential risks AI poses to consumers, workers, and national security. January 21, 2025 15:50

Biden’s executive order directed the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to author guidance that helps companies identify — and correct for — flaws in models, including biases. The executive order also required developers of AI systems to share the results of safety tests with the U.S. government before they were released to the public.

Critics allied with Trump argued that the executive order’s reporting requirements were onerous and effectively forced companies to disclose their trade secrets. During his campaign, Trump promised policies that would “support AI development rooted in free speech and human flourishing” — but declined to go into detail.
