President-elect Donald Trump plans to repeal President Joe Biden's artificial intelligence policy if he returns to office. This development comes as international experts gather in San Francisco to discuss AI safety measures, including combating deepfakes. The meeting includes officials from several allied countries, focusing on collaboration in AI safety. This is the first gathering since a global AI summit in May, where leaders agreed to establish safety institutes for research and testing. While Trump has criticized Biden's AI executive order, he has not specified his concerns or plans for the AI Safety Institute. Despite potential changes in leadership, experts believe ongoing technical work in AI safety will continue.
