Monday, hours after his inauguration Trump repealed Biden’s flagship executive order on artificial intelligence. Now, it will be up to his administration to undo the damage the Biden administration has done. Administration officials including Michael Kratsios, David Sacks, Sriram Krishnan, Marco Rubio, and Russell Vought will have massive influence over how the new administration approaches AI.

This follows an electoral college and popular vote victory centered on American greatness: unleashing the best and brightest Americans instead of slowing them down. The message is clear: Americans will lead and accelerate on AI and across our economy. We will no longer be subjects of the global censorship and regulation machine.

To that end, here are three priorities to accomplish the new administration’s AI agenda: cutting partnerships with foreign regulators, removing DEI from procurement standards, and ending Biden-era AI policy grants.

Biden’s original executive order subjected American companies to global AI governance. Specifically, the EU and UK targeted Americans, both by targeting American companies with their laws and attempting to influence American AI policy. Having failed to produce leading AI companies of their own, they have resorted to controlling AI’s future by censoring and controlling American-made AI models.

This must end on day one. Every foreign AI partnership must be oriented towards European obedience to American standards and technologies, not the other way around. Foreign governments should not be given special access to American algorithms, data, or products unless they intend to advance American interests, rather than slow them down. Joint research programs, data-sharing agreements, and policy committees must be contingent on improving AI research and access, not restricting it.

Second, completely reform procurement standards. Keep and bolster standards based on efficiency, cybersecurity, and enhancing American industry, but reject those focused on ideological and hypothetical risks with no basis in evidence.

Biden’s executive order encouraged departments and agencies to consider diversity, equity, and inclusion when awarding AI-related contracts. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sets procurement guidelines for federal agencies. Through a formal directive, OMB can strike references to DEI in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses that specifically deal with AI services or research. This ensures that federal agencies no longer factor in race or identity criteria when awarding AI-related bids. The practical impact of this change is that contracting officers will need a revision of their checklists. Where they once confirmed that a vendor complied with certain diversity standards, they will now pivot to technical competence and cost-effectiveness.

Third, revoke politicized grants given under the Biden EO. Biden’s now-repealed executive order directed agencies to condition grants on equity, “algorithmic justice”, “AI Safety”, and other euphemisms for censorship. A Trump repeal mandates a re-evaluation of these grants, many of which are midstream. Identify which are still in progress or not yet disbursed at the Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the Department of State. Some of these grants can be ended through the standard termination clauses typical in federal contracts, citing a change in administration policy and budget priorities.

The goal of the Trump administration should be simple: to have the greatest, fastest, most widely used, and most powerful AI built in America. Agencies will serve the American worker and American innovation. By implementing Trump’s executive orders effectively, the new administration has the opportunity to turn the page on the end of the era of global compliance and begin a new era of American dominance. It is time to execute and time to build.
