Trump Signs Executive Order on Developing AI 'Free From Ideological Bias'

3 months 2 weeks ago
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and other actions taken" as a result of former President Joe Biden's sweeping AI executive order of 2023, which Trump rescinded Monday.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.

Pieter may have to turn in his official pedants card. Pieter is concerned about the apparent contradiction between the two salaries on offer here, declaring:
"The title says She can earn up to 8.000 euro/month. But by the time you get to the actual article link, that amount deflated to 6.000 euro/month. I didn't know it was that bad in the euro zone! Or is it good, since we've got inflation under control? I don't know which way is up anymore..."
Pieter, 6,000 is "up to" 8,000. Technically.

Finally David B. reports "My wife works as a quality auditor for Initech [ed: the William Lumberg company, presumably, not the Flavor and Fragrance company].

They're just getting ahead of the next batch of executive orders.
