Trump's AI Flip Flop: A Case Study in Regulatory Evasion The recent draft executive order on AI safeguards that President Donald Trump abruptly decided not to sign raises more questions than answers about the administration's true intentions regarding regulating artificial intelligence.
On closer examination, it becomes clear that this "voluntary" program is a thinly veiled attempt to placate the tech sector while doing minimal to address concerns surrounding AI's impact on national security and society.
The language in the draft executive order is strikingly similar to Trump's own rhetoric when justifying his administration's lack of action on AI regulation.
