President Trump postpones signing of AI executive order.
President Trump postponed the signing of an executive order that would have established a voluntary framework for AI developers to share advanced models with the government before public release. Trump stated he delayed the signing because he disliked aspects of the order and feared it would hinder the U.S. lead in AI over China. The postponement followed last-minute pressure from tech industry leaders and advisers who opposed the regulation.
