The Trump Administration Is at War With Itself Over AI Regulation
The Trump administration is experiencing internal conflict regarding AI regulation following President Trump's abrupt cancellation of a planned executive order. Officials are now attempting to salvage parts of the order, particularly provisions for early access to AI models for cybersecurity evaluations. Key figures like White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles are pushing to revive the regulation, while others, such as David Sacks, argue against it, fearing it would stifle innovation and hinder the US in the AI race with China.
