"I think, today, [China is] probably two years behind the top [AI] models [from the US]."

"Where China sits [in AI], I think, is very far behind the US."

"The United States is in a strong position to win the essential [AI] race with China."

"China will dominate AI."

"The combination with China's self-made chips + AI infrastructure stack will put China ahead of the US."

China would "undoubtedly come out on top [in the US-China AI race]."

"[I]t seems like the United States is really far ahead [when it comes to generative AI]."

"China will lead the world in AI development."

In 2025, "China will start to lead the AI race (as a consequence of leading the open-source AI race)."

Will China Surpass the US in AI?

U.S. President Donald Trump postponed the signing of an executive order on AI hours before a scheduled White House ceremony on Thursday, saying he "didn't like certain aspects of it" and feared it could undermine U.S. competitiveness with China.

U.S. President Donald Trump postponed the signing of an executive order on AI hours before a scheduled White House ceremony on Thursday, saying he "didn't like certain aspects of it" and feared it could undermine U.S. competitiveness with China.

The proposed order would have established a voluntary framework for AI developers to share advanced models with the federal government between 14 and 90 days before public release, allowing agencies to assess cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities.

The proposed order would have established a voluntary framework for AI developers to share advanced models with the federal government between 14 and 90 days before public release, allowing agencies to assess cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities.

The draft order envisioned the Treasury Department leading a voluntary "clearinghouse" with AI companies and agencies to identify and fix security vulnerabilities, with the NSA playing a key role in determining which models would require government scrutiny.

Concerns about AI cybersecurity risks intensified following Anthropic's release of its Mythos model. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell convened an urgent meeting with Wall Street CEOs in April to warn them of the risks.

The planned order also called for a surge in cybersecurity and AI hiring across government agencies, following significant cuts to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and would have directed the Defense Department to secure key telecommunications systems.

The postponement reflected divisions within the Trump administration, with some advisers favoring industry-friendly AI policies and others pushing for mandatory government review. A coalition of more than 60 conservative groups had written to Trump urging mandatory AI testing and government approval.

Halting the AI executive order was the right call, as heavy-handed federal review requirements would've slowed down American innovation at the worst possible time. The U.S. is winning the AI race against China, and forcing companies to hand over advanced models to the government would've been a serious blocker to that lead. A national framework that clears out patchwork state regulations is the smarter path forward.

The AI executive order got killed because anti-"doomer" tech billionaires like Musk and Zuckerberg lobbied against it overnight, not because of any serious policy concern. Scrapping safety reviews leaves real cybersecurity gaps wide open, and the accelerationists who pushed this delay have no accountability for what comes next. Letting CEOs veto federal policy is a dangerous precedent that puts corporate interests ahead of public safety.

There is a 43% chance that an international AI regulatory agency, akin to the IAEA, for oversight of transformative AI systems, will be established before 2030, according to Metaculus community prediction.

Trump made the right call pulling back an executive order that would've forced AI companies to hand their advanced models over to federal bureaucrats. Slowing down American innovation just to satisfy regulatory instincts is a losing strategy when China is right on the country's heels. Keeping government out of the way is exactly how the U.S. stays ahead.

The AI executive order got killed not by sound policy thinking but by a handful of tech CEOs whispering in Trump's ear the night before the signing. Safety advocates who finally thought Washington was getting serious about AI guardrails got left hanging, and now there's no clear timeline for when — or whether — any of this happens. Letting industry egos dictate federal policy is a dangerous way to govern.
