Summary
AI Executive Orders represent a pivotal aspect of U.S. policy, with both the Biden and Trump administrations issuing significant directives. President Joe Biden's Executive Order 14110, signed on October 30, 2023, was the most comprehensive U.S. governance on AI, aiming to promote competition, protect civil liberties and national security, and bolster global competitiveness, notably by mandating 'chief artificial intelligence officer' positions in federal agencies. This order was subsequently rescinded by President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, shortly after he assumed office. Trump's administration, guided by an 'AI Race' with China, outlined its own comprehensive AI plan at the 'Winning the AI Race' DC Summit. This plan emphasized innovation, infrastructure, and exports, and included the signing of several AI Executive Orders on July 23, 2025, such as one to prevent the federal government from procuring 'Woke AI,' another to accelerate data center permitting, and a third to promote the export of American AI technology. Broader discussions around these orders have also encompassed critical issues like copyright in AI, the use of public versus synthetic data for model training, the energy demands of AI (particularly nuclear), and the economic implications for GDP and trade deals like the new US-EU agreement.
