On May 21, Trump canceled a planned signing ceremony for the order hours before it was scheduled to take place. The most contentious section of the nixed executive order was a provision creating a voluntary framework in which AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google would give the White House early access to AI models ahead of their public release to evaluate cybersecurity capabilities.
