U.S. President Trump delayed signing an executive order strengthening government oversight of artificial intelligence, citing concerns that proposed regulations might weaken America's competitive edge against China.
Trump expressed concern that the proposal could become a "barrier" to the rapidly growing AI industry, which he believes is generating "massive" economic growth and job opportunities. He also noted that during his recent visit to Beijing, he discussed AI safeguards with Chinese leaders, asserting that the U.S. and China are leading the global AI race, while other nations are "far behind."
However, U.S. media reported that these plans were postponed due to lobbying by Elon Musk, founder of xAI, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and David Sachs, former AI advisor to Trump. Sachs reportedly feared the order could impact profits by slowing down AI adoption or forcing changes related to safety concerns.
