“President Trump says he is postponing, signing an executive order on artificial intelligence”
that was supposed to happen yesterday. NPR's Deepa Shiveram reports the announcement came after weeks of shifting rhetoric from the Trump administration on AI. Trump was set to sign an executive order on AI that would have added some safeguards around the development of the technology, but now the President is delaying it.
Trump says it's because he didn't like certain aspects of the order and how it could block innovation. "We're leading China, we're leading everybody and I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that lead." The administration has been also leaning on how to address concerns over AI safety for
weeks. Trump has had a close relationship with tech executives and wants there to be less regulation around the technology, but polling shows Americans favor regulations of AI. Deepa Shiveram and PR News. The deadline is quickly approaching for people in some parts of the country who want

Later today, SpaceX will try again to launch its giant Starship rocket, as NPR's Jeff Brumfield reports, the flight comes as the space launch firm is preparing to become a publicly traded company. SpaceX tried to send Starship to space yesterday, but with just seconds to go a problem with the launch pad forced them to abort.
We are going to be standing down from May launch. They're trying again tonight. Earlier this week, SpaceX announced plans for an initial public offering, filing showed
“just how important Starship is to the future of the business.”
SpaceX wants to use it to go to the moon, build AI data centers in space, and more.
