POLITICO has obtained a draft of the executive order on artificial intelligence that President Donald Trump had been expected to sign Thursday afternoon, only to abruptly postpone the event.

The document -- available here and below -- was meant to address concerns that advanced AI products from companies such as Anthropic could unleash devastating cyberattacks and wreak other havoc if they fell into the wrong hands. It called for creating a voluntary oversight system in which developers of advanced AI models could submit their products to a review by federal agencies as much as 90 days before releasing them, POLITICO previously reported.

have come at a worse time in the history of this country.

The fascists leading us are doing their damnedest to prevent this insanity from being regulated as it consumes our resources, impoverishes people, and radically transforms/dumbs own every aspect of society. Meanwhile, the EU attempted to get on this shit early. The US has completely lost the plot. It is taking this supervillain psychosis seriously in a way most of the world (fortunately) still is not.
