- President Donald Trump signed an executive order on artificial intelligence (AI) establishing a framework for federal government to evaluate national security risks associated with advanced AI systems before public release.
- The order allows for early collaboration with trusted partners to promote secure innovation and strengthen cybersecurity of critical infrastructure.
- Trump had previously postponed signing a similar order due to concerns that it might hinder America’s competitive edge in AI technology.
- The extent to which this new order differs from the earlier version, which was canceled on May 21st, is currently unclear.
- The initial order had been proposed as a voluntary initiative in collaboration with major U.S.-based tech companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google.
