Trump cancels AI executive order signing after tech CEOs skip event and industry pushback

President Trump abruptly canceled an AI executive order just hours before signing, initially due to tech CEOs not attending the event. The order would have allowed voluntary government testing of frontier AI models up to 90 days before release. Industry pressure from Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and former AI advisor David Sacks reportedly influenced the decision, with concerns that even voluntary AI safeguards could slow innovation and hurt US leadership in AI against China.
