Daniel Castro, an AI expert at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a think tank frequently aligned with industry, credited the Trump administration for launching America’s current AI strategy.
“They put together one of the early works in terms of investing in AI throughout government, thinking about what it is,” Castro said. “But also then, the Biden administration came in and has done so much more.”
Castro highlighted key differences between Trump and Biden on AI. He pointed to the Biden administration’s focus on addressing the potential for AI to promote bias, boost surveillance or harm civil rights, including through initiatives like the White House’s Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights.
