U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to postpone an executive order concerning artificial intelligence (AI) due to concerns that certain aspects of the order might undermine the United States' competitive position against China. The executive order aimed to establish a voluntary framework for AI developers to engage with the U.S. government prior to the public release of advanced AI models. In a statement, Trump emphasized the importance of maintaining U.S. leadership in AI, saying, "I don’t want to do anything that’s going to get in the way of that lead." The specifics of his objections to the order were not disclosed. This decision follows Trump's recent visit to China, where he met with President Xi Jinping and described their discussions as “very successful.” Reports suggest that the delay was influenced by input from notable tech figures, including Elon Musk, who later refuted claims regarding his involvement in the order's postponement. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
