Trump signs scaled-back AI executive order

Tuesday’s highly anticipated order represents an attempt by the president to tighten his grip on cybersecurity and national security threats posed by AI, tacking against his earlier deregulatory stance.

President Donald Trump signed a landmark executive order Tuesday that asks AI companies to give the government early access to their most powerful models for review.

It asks some AI companies to submit their new models to a voluntary government review 30 days before releasing them to the public.

A previous draft of the order had called for a voluntary review up to 90 days in advance, though AI industry insiders had pushed for something closer to a two-week window.
