Newly sworn-in President Donald Trump took a series of 'Day One' actions on Monday, with his top priority being the revocation of former President Biden's executive order on artificial intelligence. He also called for federal employees to return to office work. Biden's AI order provided a roadmap for the federal government to develop technology and manage risks. The order prompted the Office of Management and Budget to issue a memo requiring agencies to implement specific measures for managing and monitoring their AI use cases, as well as the application of technology in a national security context.
