WASHINGTON — The Trump administration’s recently announced cancellation of an artificial intelligence rule from the last days of the Biden administration reflects a shift away from the latter’s values-based approach, which rewarded democracies, and toward an interests-based approach that includes deals with more authoritarian-leaning states, analysts say.
A Commerce Department news release Tuesday cited two reasons why previous U.S. President Joe Biden’s “AI diffusion rule” — which would have categorized countries into three “tiers” of friends, others and adversaries — would have harmed American interests if it had taken effect this Thursday.
