Trump stalls AI safety order
🚨 Our Report
President Trump has postponed signing an executive order that would require government evaluation of AI models before public release, citing concerns that the language "could have been a blocker" to US AI leadership. The unofficial reason: not enough tech CEOs could make it to Washington for the photo op.
🔓 Key Points
The proposed EO would have required the government to evaluate AI models for security vulnerabilities before public release, responding to concerns over Anthropic's Mythos and OpenAI's GPT-5.5 Cyber.
A major sticking point: AI companies would need to share advanced models with the government 14 to 90 days before launch, which Trump said could hurt US competitiveness.
Trump told reporters he "didn't like certain aspects" of the order, adding: "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 leading."
🔐 Relevance
The delay suggests pre-release AI safety evaluations remain politically contentious in Washington. For enterprise leaders, this means AI vendors will likely continue launching advanced models without a formal government security review. Companies deploying these tools should maintain their own security assessments, as federal oversight timelines remain unclear.
The AI Executive's Pass is live
Most business leaders are already paying for 4–6 AI tools they found separately, at full price, with no coordination between them. The AI Executive's Pass is the fix.
$11,000+ in tools and resources built for executives actually implementing AI — not just reading about it.
Inside: Notion, beehiiv, ListKit, Make.com, Paperform, Intercom, a private GPT training session, and a LinkedIn growth consult.

THE BUSINESS BRIEFING: HR & TALENT (powered by Upscaile)
Skydo (fintech startup, post-PMF) was burning cash on recruitment agencies while trying to fill 15+ roles monthly with a single HR manager. Screening cycles stretched for weeks, hiring managers spent hours on first-round calls, and agency-sourced candidates weren't consistently calibrated. They implemented Fabric to automate first-round interviews and application scoring.
Tool used: Fabric -- AI-powered screening interviews with technical and cultural fit assessment.
Result: Cut interview rounds in half. One recruiter now fills 15 positions per month without external agency support. Hiring managers freed from repetitive screens.
The lesson: AI screening works when you trust it to replace human rounds, not supplement them. Skydo routed every applicant through Fabric before any human call—partial automation doesn't solve the bottleneck.
Steal this: Pick your highest-volume open role this week. Route the next 10 applicants through an AI screening tool before scheduling any human calls. Compare shortlist quality to your current process.
TOGETHER WITH KORE.AI
Build with AI: the AI-programmable platform. Months to days, not six months.
The Kore.ai Agent Platform {Artemis} is AI-programmable—meaning AI does the work of building agents, not just running them. Your team starts at the business logic.
Arch, the AI design assistant, works alongside them.
Months to days. Not a roadmap. A runtime.
THE POLICY CORNER
UK overhauls product safety rules — AI-enabled products now subject to mandatory cybersecurity and safety checks.
The UK Department for Business and Trade finalized sweeping product safety regulations affecting any business selling into Great Britain, including AI-powered devices and software. Manufacturers, importers, and online marketplaces must now assess cybersecurity risks and AI functionality as part of baseline safety requirements. Overseas sellers shipping direct to UK customers are treated as producers and held directly accountable for compliance. High-risk products require third-party conformity assessment before market entry.
Deadline: Secondary legislation expected Q4 2026, with 12-week transition window after publication.
Your move: If you sell AI-enabled hardware or software into the UK, map your supply chain role now. Confirm whether you're classified as producer, onward supplier, or marketplace — each carries distinct compliance duties. For AI products, document how you assess cybersecurity and algorithmic safety risks.

The Money: Compute as a service
AI leaders are flipping from infrastructure buyers to infrastructure sellers. When your flagship product underperforms, unused servers become a $40B revenue stream. This signals a shift from vertical integration to capacity arbitrage across the AI stack.
Deals to know:
Anthropic (Compute lease, $1.25B/month) -- Secured 300MW from xAI's Colossus 1 data center through May 2029. Total deal value: $40B+. Counterparty: xAI
AMD (Strategic investment, $10B) -- Taiwan semiconductor ecosystem partnerships targeting chip packaging and manufacturing for Helios AI server launch H2 2026. Partners: ASE, SPIL, Sanmina, Wiwynn
Signal: Infrastructure overcapacity is now a feature, not a bug. Companies building excess compute can monetize idle capacity faster than training new models, turning balance sheet risk into recurring revenue.
