US President Donald Trump signed an AI decree on Thursday to “make America the world capital in artificial intelligence”, said his assistant to journalists in the White House Oval Office.
The order establishes a deadline of 180 days for an action plan for artificial intelligence to create a policy “to support and improve the world domination of American AI in order to promote human development, economic competitiveness and national security”.
Trump also said to his AI advisor and the National Security Assistant to work to remove the policies and regulations set up by former president Joe Biden.
Trump revoked an executive decree in 2023 on Monday signed by Biden who sought to reduce the risks that artificial intelligence poses to consumers, workers and national security.
Biden’s order demanded that the developers of AI systems have risks to the national security of the United States, the economy, public health or security to share the results of security tests with the American government, in accordance with the Defense Production Act, before being awarded to the public.
Trump also signed an executive decree creating a cryptocurrency working group responsible for offering a new regulatory framework for digital assets and exploring the creation of a cryptocurrency stock.
The long-awaited action also ordered that the banking services for cryptographic companies be protected and prohibit the creation of digital currency from the Central Bank which could compete with existing cryptocurrencies.
The order sees Trump achieving a campaign campaign commitment to be a “president of cryptography and to promote the adoption of digital assets”.
This contrasts strongly with Biden regulators who, in order to protect the Americans against fraud and money laundering, repressed cryptographic companies, pursuing Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Kraken and dozens of others before the Federal Court, alleging that they beat American laws.
The working group will be made up of the secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General and the Presidents of the Commission for Titles and Exchanges and the Commission Futures Trading Commission, as well as other agency chiefs. The group is responsible for developing a regulatory framework for digital assets, including stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency generally set to the US dollar.
The group should also “assess the potential creation and maintenance of a stock of national digital assets … potentially derived from cryptocurrencies legally seized by the federal government through its efforts to apply the law”.
In December, Trump appointed the venture capital and former leader of Paypal, David Sacks, the Czar of cryptography and artificial intelligence. He will chair the group, said the order.
Finally, Trump signed 23 anti-abortion demonstrators on Thursday in the White House oval office.
The pardons one day came before the anti-abortion demonstrators became in Washington for the annual march for life.
