trump ai executive order quietly grants tech giants unprecedented immunity from AI liability
The new executive order on AI, signed behind closed doors, contains a little-noticed clause that shields major tech firms from legal responsibility for algorithmic errors, raising questions about who truly benefits from this policy shift. While marketed as a move to foster innovation, critics point out that the language appears tailored to protect industry leaders from lawsuits over biased or harmful AI outputs, effectively leaving consumers without recourse. The order’s rapid implementation, bypassing customary public comment periods, has sparked bipartisan concern about transparency. As one former advisor put it, ‘This isn’t about progress—it’s about protecting the power structure.’
