The differences between the two administrations are largely rhetorical, Dominique Shelton Leipzig writes in a guest commentary.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order related to AI to "make America the world capital in artificial intelligence," his aide told reporters in the White House's Oval Office.

President Trump says he likes Biden's idea to open up federal lands for AI data centers. His White House is looking for ways to ensure U.S. dominance in the sector.

Much of Biden's order set in motion a sprint across government agencies to study AI's impact on everything from cybersecurity risks to its effects on education, workplaces, and public benefits.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday revoked a 2023 executive order signed by Joe Biden that sought to reduce the risks that artificial intelligence poses to consumers, workers and national security.

Donald Trump axed all that yesterday as he signed a flurry of new executive orders. One of his first actions was to rescind 78 Biden-era executive actions, including Executive Order 14110 on “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.”

When Biden's AI Order was established, half a dozen US politicians applauded the measure alongside industry executives like Microsoft President Brad Smith, who called it a "critical step forward in the governance of AI technology" (In October, Microsoft founder Bill Gates quietly supported Kamala Harris for president with a $50 million donation).

Hours after returning to the White House, President Donald Trump made a symbolic mark on the future of artificial intelligence by repealing former President Joe Biden’s guardrails for the fast-developing technology.
