Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
President Trump abruptly reversed his plan to sign an executive order requiring government safety reviews of new AI models before release, citing American dominance and competition with China. The reversal came despite growing public backlash and expert warnings about critical security risks posed by new AI models. The decision effectively gives big tech companies unchecked power to develop and release AI systems without government oversight, marking a significant win for the tech industry.
