At President Donald Trump’s recent rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Trump vowed to nullify an executive order from President Joe Biden regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
Amid the hustle and bustle of his ongoing 2024 election campaign, Trump strongly criticized the Biden administration in particular Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. He alleged that Mayorkas has deployed AI as a tool to suppress political conversations in the country.
The prospect of reversing the current government’s course towards AI thus emerged as a major focus during the rally.
In his public speech, Trump candidly expressed his disdain for the recent attempt to delve deeply into the potential applications of AI.
He signaled his intention to abolish Biden’s AI-related executive order upon his return to the presidency. “If re-elected, I will revoke Biden’s executive order on artificial intelligence and, on day one, ban the use of AI to censor the speech of American citizens,” he vowed.
Across the national spectrum, Biden’s October executive order has drawn mixed reactions. A blueprint was outlined that includes aspects such as mitigating job losses, evaluations of algorithm safety, and tools for detecting AI-synthesized images. Still, it didn’t seem to convince industry experts, some of whom speculated that it was merely cosmetic and unlikely to significantly impact federal operations without legislative support. Some critics see it as federal interference in AI governance that goes beyond its jurisdiction.
The potential of AI for moderating and censoring content on social platforms is widely recognized. Because it is used to moderate private content, it has raised legitimate concerns about censorship, which Trump cites as a pillar of his argument.
