President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order establishing guidance for federal agency use of artificial intelligence (AI) in government decision-making “to foster public trust and confidence in the use of AI, and ensure that the use of AI protects privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.”
The White House said in a release that the president’s executive order underscores the Trump administration’s “commitment to accelerating Federal adoption of AI, modernizing government, cultivating public trust in AI, and exemplifying world leadership in the use of trustworthy AI.”
