The president rejects central bank digital currencies and advocates deregulation of crypto assets
Artificial intelligence
Trump has signed the executive order on cryptocurrencies and the one on artificial intelligence one after another. On the first day, the president announced the repeal of the regulations established by his predecessor to impose security and transparency guarantees in the sector. Trump is betting on development without practically any restrictions and ignores the cautions of Joe Biden, his predecessor. Among the measures he abolished was the requirement that technology companies that build the most powerful models share details with the Government about the operation of these systems before they are released to the public.
Acknowledging American primacy in the new technology, the new order says: “To maintain this leadership, we must develop AI systems free of ideological bias or manipulated societal agendas. With the right government policies, we can solidify our position as the global leader in AI and secure a better future for all Americans.”
“This order revokes certain existing AI policies and directives that act as barriers to U.S. AI innovation, clearing the way for the United States to act decisively to maintain global leadership in artificial intelligence.
The new order does not mention which existing policies are hindering AI development, but it does call for an action plan to be drawn up within 180 days, as with cryptocurrencies.
Just hours after returning to the White House on Monday, Trump repealed former President Joe Biden’s barriers to the rapid development of AI technology, a far-reaching executive order signed in 2023.
Until Thursday's order was passed, it was unclear whether Trump planned to replace his predecessor's artificial intelligence policy with his own order or leave a loophole.
