President-elect Donald Trump plans to repeal President Joe Biden's artificial intelligence policy if he returns to office. This promise comes as government scientists and AI experts from various countries gather in San Francisco to discuss AI safety measures. The meeting, hosted by the Biden administration, includes officials from allies like Canada, the UK, and the European Union. They will focus on issues such as detecting AI-generated deepfakes and building a network of safety institutes, following a summit in South Korea. Trump's transition team has not clarified his stance on Biden's AI Safety Institute. Despite political changes, some experts believe the technical work on AI safety will continue, as industry groups support the current approach to AI regulation.
