特朗普在科技巨头CEO拒绝出席后，突然取消AI行政令签署活动
美国总统特朗普决定推迟一项关于人工智能安全测试的行政令签署。此前，多家领先AI公司的首席执行官拒绝出席原定的签署活动。特朗普随后声称，该行政令若执行，将对技术创新构成“阻碍”。这一决定使得旨在加强AI安全监管的重要政策进程暂时搁置。
特朗普因CEO缺席撤回AI安全测试行政令，暴露了美国AI监管的脆弱。行业游说、政府内斗、中美竞赛交织，安全测试从技术问题变成了政治筹码。
According to Lee, parallel to the AI race is “a separate, potentially more important race” to figure out how “who can govern powerful AI without choking off innovation.”
China may be slightly edging ahead of the US in that race.
SCMP’s report claimed that while the US has been hesitant to regulate AI, “China’s regulatory process is accelerating significantly” in recent months. In April, Beijing issued a new regulation requiring domestic AI firms to establish internal “artificial intelligence ethics review committees.” In May, the State Council, China’s cabinet, outlined a legislative work plan for 2026 to “improve AI governance and accelerate comprehensive legislation for the sound development of AI.”
In the US, discord exists not just between political parties but among Trump’s team, The Information reported. The tensions reportedly started after the abrupt end of Sacks’ tenure as AI advisor, creating a “power vacuum” within the White House’s AI leadership structure. Still, Sacks continues to visit the White House weekly, The Information reported.
As Trump reportedly faces pressure from the Commerce Department and the Office of Science and Technology Policy to maintain a light-touch approach to AI regulation, more security-focused agencies, like the Office of the National Cyber Director, think the time for governance is now.
Trump’s next moves on AI safety in the US won’t just be closely watched by officials within his administration concerned about national security risks—which apparently includes Vice President JD Vance, who said on Wednesday that the administration was prioritizing “protecting people’s data” and “people’s privacy” after concerns about Mythos were raised. Apparently, China will also be expecting regular AI safety updates from Trump.
At the recent summit with China’s president, Xi Jinping, Trump agreed “to launch an intergovernmental dialogue on AI” to mutually navigate emerging national security risks as AI technology advances, the Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed.
