In an event meant to address the potential catastrophes posed by futuristic forms of AI, Harris made waves by pivoting to present-day concerns — and the need to codify protections quickly without stifling innovation. Here are the candidates' records on AI:Biden signed his AI executive order last Oct. 30, and soon after Trump was signaling on the campaign trail that, if re-elected, he'd do away with it. Before that, tech experts were pushing the Trump-era White House for a stronger AI strategy to match what other countries were pursuing. Trump also in the waning weeks of his administration signed an executive order promoting the use of “trustworthy” AI in the federal government. Voters haven't yet heard much detail about how a Harris or second Trump administration would change that.
