Nearly two years into his second term, President Donald Trump has built his AI policy almost entirely from voluntary industry pledges and executive orders intended to sustain an AI boom that is powering the US economy. On his first day back in office, Trump scrapped his predecessor Joe Biden's 2023 order requiring developers of the most powerful AI systems to share safety test results with the government. In July 2025, the White House unveiled an "AI Action Plan" listing more than 90 measures to speed up development. An accompanying order titled "Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government" requires federal agencies to buy only models deemed ideologically neutral. Congress, politically divided and heavily lobbied by Big Tech, has yet to pass a federal AI law, and is out of session until after the midterm elections. Trump has pushed to block state AI laws, but Congress has repeatedly refused to override them, and state laws are taking effect nationwide.
