Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence

On January 23, 2025, a new executive order titled "Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence" was signed, aiming to bolster the United States' position as a global leader in AI by eliminating policies that hinder innovation. The order mandates the development of an AI action plan within 180 days and revokes previous directives, such as Executive Order 14110, which may have imposed restrictions on AI development. This move could enhance U.S. economic competitiveness and national security, but it also raises potential legal and political debates about the balance between innovation and regulation in AI technology.
