Exploring the current state of innovation and safety paradigms in AI Development
The political and economic winds of change blowing from the White House have seemingly upended the direction of travel for AI policy over the last few months. A starting point here is perhaps the Executive Order issued merely three days into the new US President assuming office titled “Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence”[1]. This expeditious executive action from the Trump administration repealed a Biden era Executive Order which mandated the safe, secure and trustworthy development and use of Artificial intelligence.[2] Instead, its stated goals include ridding the AI development lifecycle of “ideological bias or engineered social agendas” and solidifying the USA’s position as a global leader in AI.
