On Thursday, May 22, U.S. President Trump abruptly canceled a high-profile signing ceremony for an AI executive order. The order, which aimed to strengthen AI regulation, would have authorized the government to evaluate AI models before their public release. However, according to the U.S. news website Axios, the executive order was shelved just hours before the signing ceremony due to strong opposition from one of Trump's senior advisors and some tech industry executives. Additionally, Trump himself showed little interest in regulating AI.
