Trump cancels fund and introduces voluntary AI model checks
The administration of US President Donald Trump has abandoned plans to establish a compensation fund for alleged victims of politically or ideologically motivated state action. The proposal faced widespread criticism, according to which it could have served as a tool for rewarding the president's loyal supporters. Der Standard ↗
The dispute over the fund concerned the intention to pay compensation to people who claimed to have been harmed by state authorities or the justice system. Critics warned that such a mechanism could call into question the independence of institutions and create a politically motivated system of compensation. Following the criticism, the plan was scrapped. Tagesspiegel ↗
At the same time, Trump signed an order introducing voluntary screening of new high-performance artificial intelligence models. Developers are to allow US authorities to examine new systems before their wider deployment. The aim is for agencies such as the Department of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security to be able to familiarize themselves with the technologies. Deutschlandfunk ↗
In Austria, data on donated assets for 2025 has been published. Larger gifts must be reported to the tax office, and the available statistics show a continuing increase in such transfers. Further developments will depend on whether authorities move toward stricter oversight of financial transfers, and whether voluntary screening of artificial intelligence in the US becomes the basis for broader regulation.
