President Donald Trump has rescinded Joe Biden's executive order on artificial intelligence (AI) safety, a move that eliminates federal oversight and mandatory safety testing requirements for AI companies. This action, taken on Trump’s first day back in office, is one of about 80 executive orders from the previous administration that he overturned. The now-defunct order required companies developing powerful AI to share test results with the government before public release. Trump's administration has not announced a replacement policy, signaling a deregulation-focused approach for AI development, which is viewed by some as a way to accelerate the global AI race.

The reversal of Biden's AI safety rules has prompted questions regarding the future of the U.S. AI Safety Institute and has led to concerns about a regulatory gap within the United States. While federal regulations are rolled back, state-level AI regulations in places like California, Colorado, and Illinois remain in effect, creating a patchwork of rules across the country. Some speculate that the Trump administration might have used AI to help draft the executive orders, which some experts are calling "poor, slipshod work" due to typos, formatting errors and stilted language.
