The FDA for AI That Almost Was: Inside the Eleventh Hour Collapse of Trump's Frontier Model Review Order - May 23, 2026
Hours before the planned signing ceremony on May 21, the White House postponed an executive order that would have established a voluntary 90-day pre-launch review of frontier AI models, with the NSA running classified evaluations and the Treasury Department coordinating with critical infrastructure operators. We unpack how former Trump AI czar David Sacks led the eleventh hour intervention, why Musk and Zuckerberg pushed back, why OpenAI was on the other side, and what this collapse means for the future of US AI governance.
Hosted by Chris and Laura.
