The Trump administration is pushing a change of direction AI policy, including those governing its use in federal agencies, a little more than a year after a wide-ranging executive order on the topic from the Biden administration.
A request for information in a Federal Register notice seeks input on development of an AI “action plan” that “will define the priority policy actions needed to sustain and enhance America’s AI dominance, and to ensure that unnecessarily burdensome requirements do not hamper private sector AI innovation.”
That follows an executive order of late January that had revoked Biden’s October 2023 order on grounds that it “hampered the private sector’s ability to innovate in AI by imposing burdensome government requirements restricting private sector AI development and deployment.”
The Biden order had required the development of guidelines on the ethical use of AI by the military and intelligence communities; guidelines for agencies to evaluate the effectiveness of privacy-preserving techniques; and an evaluation of how agencies collect and use commercially available information. It also addressed issues such as ensuring that systems are safe, secure and trustworthy; protections against fraud and deceptive content; use of AI to find and fix vulnerabilities in software; and more.
