Ricketts Statement on Trump Administration’s Plan to Rescind Biden AI Diffusion Rule

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) released the following statement after it was announced that the Trump administration plans to rescind the Biden administration’s AI Diffusion rule (AIDR):

“I am pleased to hear that the Trump administration plans to rescind Biden’s AI Diffusion rule. I look forward to working with the administration to propose a new rule that grows America’s AI leadership and promotes partnership with our friends and allies. We must prevent Communist China from capturing the world market and taking the lead on this technology. We must also make America the world capital of AI.”

Ricketts recently led a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick regarding the need to withdraw this rule before the May 15th compliance deadline.
