President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Dec 11, 2025, limiting states’ regulatory power over artificial intelligence (AI), while being watched by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Commerce Secretary Howard in the Oval Office.
Senior White House AI policy advisor Sriram Krishnan announced his departure from the administration, effective at the end of June, without offering a public reason.
Krishnan played a pivotal role in crafting the Trump administration’s national AI regulatory framework amidst growing concerns over the security implications of advanced AI models.
The executive order released by the White House directed federal agencies to request AI developers to submit their most advanced models for government cybersecurity evaluations prior to public release.
Examples of AI’s potential dangers were given, such as Anthropic’s Mythos, which is said to be capable of identifying cybersecurity vulnerabilities in complex computer systems.
