Source: White House<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday morning,\u00a0Bloomberg,\u00a0the Washington Post,\u00a0Reuters, and\u00a0Axios\u00a0were preparing readers for the same event: President Donald Trump would sign an executive order on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity that afternoon. The White House had sent invitations. Executives from the leading laboratories had been told to attend.<\/p>\n<p>By early afternoon, the ceremony had been postponed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t like certain aspects of it. I postponed it,\u201d Trump told reporters at an unrelated Oval Office event. Then came the substantive concern: \u201cWe\u2019re leading China, we\u2019re leading everybody, and I don\u2019t want to do anything that\u2019s going to get in the way of that lead.\u201d The order, he worried, \u201ccould have been a blocker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What Trump did not mention was the chain of calls that preceded the decision. Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, according to reporting in the Washington Post, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and David Sacks each spoke with the President. The order, a source familiar with the conversations told Axios, was \u201cjust something doomers wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the time the executives summoned to the Oval Office \u2014 many based in California and given little advance notice to plan travel to Washington \u2014 were preparing to fly, the document they had been invited to witness was already being withdrawn. Yet the President\u2019s rationale for pulling the order rested on a characterization that the text itself did not fully support. Trump had called the order a &#8220;blocker.&#8221; The leaked draft to POLITICO showed otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>The order was voluntary. Companies would not have been required to submit models for inspection. The Treasury Department would convene a \u201cclearinghouse\u201d with AI laboratories to share cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Agencies would hire more cyber staff.
