Consumer Groups Urge Trump To Keep AI Safety Rules, Warn Of Risks To Veterans And Retirees

The Consumer Federation of America and Mozilla urged the White House to maintain key AI safety and transparency rules in a letter Thursday. The letter warned that revoking former President Biden’s executive order on AI could endanger consumers. The letter criticized President Trump’s decision to revise requirements for AI testing before deployment in government programs, including those assisting veterans and retirees. The signers argued that removing these safeguards could lead to improper benefits decisions and potential harm.
