The implementation of a proposed artificial intelligence oversight plan from DeepMind chief Demis Hassabis was blocked following a series of meetings between Donald Trump and top tech executives. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and Elon Musk spoke with the president to stall the regulatory framework, the Wall Street Journal reported, effectively stopping the adoption of the proposed rules.

The decision comes amid ongoing internal White House disputes over the administration's broader AI strategy. These debates involve conflicting efforts to sway Trump on the balance between federal safety regulations and industrial growth, reflecting a struggle among advisors to determine the final approach to technology oversight.
