Trump Signs Executive Order on Developing AI 'Free From Ideological Bias' 42
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on AI Thursday that will revoke past government policies his order says "act as barriers to American AI innovation." From a report: To maintain global leadership in AI technology, "we must develop AI systems that are free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas," Trump's order says. The new order doesn't name which existing policies are hindering AI development but sets out to track down and review "all policies, directives, regulations, orders, and other actions taken" as a result of former President Joe Biden's sweeping AI executive order of 2023, which Trump rescinded Monday.
Any of those Biden-era actions must be suspended if they don't fit Trump's new directive that AI should "promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security." Last year, the Biden administration issued a policy directive that said U.S. federal agencies must show their artificial intelligence tools aren't harming the public, or stop using them. Trump's order directs the White House to revise and reissue those directives, which affect how agencies acquire AI tools and use them.

Don't worry. It's only three days into Trump's presidency and he's issuing executive orders as fast as his oversized sharpie can sign them. Most will be ignored, some will be challenged, and some will be the policy for the next four years. Those that are extremely outrageous will be rescinded when saner minds (either R or D) come into power in 2028.
For now, just hold on tight for the tilt-a-whirl that is coming, write to your congressmen when things are obviously wrong, and laugh at the clowns when they deserve it. The rest of the world is already laughing at the "Gulf of America", the "US Panama Canal", and "Canada, the 51st state".
Writing to congressmen is no longer an even hopefully positive thing. All writings are PROBABLY only reviewed for threats and all else shredded. I'm not joking.
Well, there are the ones that do give a crap. They don't have any power to stop anything or change anything, just talk about what they want to happen. They're overruled at this point.

Sounds like an ideological bias to me.
Re: (Score:2)
The same thing will happen too. Musk's AI, Grok, turned out quote progressive. It even called out Musk for being a dick to his trans daughter, and affirmed transgender identities and rights.
What Trump probably means is he wants AIs to be conservative, and anything that doesn't align with US Republican ideology is "bias".

I don't understand why this is modded troll, it is 100% on point. Can anyone point to an ideological issue that has influenced AI to the point of affecting how it works? If not can someone explain why this should even rate on the agenda of the executive branch let alone involve an executive order?
There is a troll here, it's the man in the White House "solving" a non-existing "problem" to appease his base. It's begging a question that Biden did something bad and that held America back, without ever pointing

That was Hunter Biden, not Joe Biden. So your logic is: Hunter Biden bad, therefore Joe Biden bad (no proof needed) ergo Donald Trump must be a saint. Trump derangement syndrome really isn't what you people think it is.
