    DescriptionThe future of federal AI governance seems to be put on hold in the United States—but it might give us a chance to reorient the focus of our AI policy.

    With his flurry of executive orders over the past two weeks, President Donald Trump has fulfilled many of the promises he made along the campaign trail. Beyond frightening and egregious orders like an increase in deportations and a rollback of DEI programs, he has also revoked the Biden-era Executive Order 14110 on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, known as the AI EO. The order stated, “Harnessing AI for good and realizing its myriad benefits requires mitigating its substantial risks.”

    Among the many schemes put into place since the inauguration, revocation of the AI EO is not necessarily the most pressing, dangerous or earth-shattering—at least, not yet.
