Global AI Safety Conference Held in San Francisco

President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to repeal President Biden's AI executive order, raising uncertainty about the future of U.S. AI policy. As global leaders gather in San Francisco for an AI safety conference, discussions focus on combating risks associated with AI technologies, including deepfakes. The Biden administration's establishment of the AI Safety Institute and safety protocols has garnered support from major tech firms like Amazon and Google, who view it as essential for safe AI development. However, Trump's criticism frames these measures as barriers to innovation, yet he has not clarified his specific objections or proposed alternatives. The upcoming administration's stance could significantly impact international collaboration on AI safety standards established by the newly formed consortium of nations. Experts warn that without clear guidance, the AI landscape could become fragmented under differing national policies.
