At a rally following the inauguration ceremonies, President Trump had a table brought to the stage where he signed several executive orders. The first of the night points to 78 of the Biden administration’s orders, including the October 2023 guidelines for AI.

“The repeals contained in this order are the first of many steps the United States Federal Government will take to repair our institutions and our economy,” the text reads. There’s no explanation of any of the choices, just a long list with “the following actions undone” as an introduction. Some relate to the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic while others relate to immigration, climate change and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Biden’s executive order outlines an ambitious plan to establish protections for the general public and best practices for the federal government regarding artificial intelligence. More specifically, the EO calls for new standards for safety and security in addition to protocols for AI watermarking and both civil rights and consumer protections. It also put in place flats to ease the impact on workers from businesses that use AI as well as launched a new federal job portal looking for “more AI talent.”

In a singular executive order on Monday, Trump also withdrew the US from the Paris climate agreement the second time. He did this in his first term, but Biden turned back the involvement of the US when he took office.
