President Donald Trump on Thursday canceled plans to sign a new executive order on artificial intelligence after raising concerns that stricter oversight could weaken America's lead in the global AI race.
"We're leading China, we're leading everybody, and I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that lead," Trump told reporters, according to an Associated Press report.
The proposed order would have created a voluntary framework for companies such as OpenAI, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) subsidiary Google and Anthropic to share advanced AI models with the government before public release. The AP reported that the debate reflected growing divisions inside the administration over balancing AI safety and cybersecurity risks against innovation and economic competitiveness.
