Trump administration's proposed AI regulatory agency faces obstacles, new regulatory framework advancement stalls

Odaily News: The Trump administration's executive order to establish a new AI regulatory agency has stalled, with the plan facing internal disputes.

According to reports, the White House previously considered strengthening oversight of advanced AI models through an executive order, but the plan has sparked divisions within the administration and the tech industry, with some officials concerned that excessive regulation could weaken America's edge in the global AI race.

The previously proposed plan included establishing a government evaluation mechanism for frontier AI models, requiring AI companies to undergo safety reviews before publicly releasing their models. However, after opposition from tech firms and some policy advisors, Trump delayed signing the relevant executive order.

Market observers believe that the uncertainty surrounding the AI regulatory path reflects the policy tug-of-war within the U.S. government between driving technological innovation and mitigating AI safety risks. (The Information)
