President Donald Trump postponed a highly anticipated executive order on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity just hours before it was scheduled to be signed at the White House, halting what would have been one of the administration's most significant moves on AI oversight.
The order had been expected to create a voluntary framework for AI companies to coordinate with the federal government before releasing advanced AI models and to strengthen cybersecurity protections tied to rapidly advancing artificial intelligence systems. The move came amid growing concerns in Washington over the national security implications of increasingly powerful AI technologies and their potential use in cyber operations.
