Washington, D.C., January 24, 2025: Former U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at strengthening America’s leadership in artificial intelligence (AI) while ensuring that AI technologies remain “free from ideological bias.” The order outlines a series of measures to promote AI innovation, research, and development, including increased funding for AI-focused initiatives and the creation of a national strategy to position the U.S. as the global AI leader.
Trump emphasized that the executive order seeks to enhance the ethical development and deployment of AI technologies, highlighting the importance of ensuring that AI remains neutral and objective. The order also includes provisions to safeguard against the potential misuse of AI and ensure its alignment with democratic values. Critics, however, have expressed concerns over the impact of such initiatives on privacy, regulation, and the role of big tech companies in shaping AI’s future.
