Trump Signs AI Governance Order After Weeks of White House Delays

—President Trump has signed an executive order establishing a framework for artificial intelligence governance, ending weeks of internal deliberations that had stalled the policy. The order sets guidelines for how federal agencies use AI systems and establishes oversight mechanisms for high-risk applications. The delay reportedly stemmed from disagreements between tech-friendly advisers and national security officials over how tightly to regulate AI development. The order is less restrictive than some advocates had sought but goes further than the administration's previous hands-off approach.
