America’s AI watchdog is losing its bite

TLDR: Trump released an executive order in February promising to “rein in” independent agencies like the FTC that wage influence without consulting the president. The White House's recent Action Plan suggests there will be fewer, if any, enforcement actions about how companies are deploying AI. The White House’s broader philosophy toward AI, referred to in the plan, is a “try first” approach that attempts to propel faster AI adoption everywhere from the Pentagon to doctor's offices. The lack of FTC enforcement that is likely to ensue is dangerous for the public, according to some experts.
