- President Trump signed an executive order requesting technology companies to submit new artificial intelligence (A.I.) models to the government for review before public release.
- The order marks a shift from the administration’s previously hands-off approach toward A.I., which prioritized technological advancement without strict oversight.
- The previous executive order that mandated a 14-to-90 day review window was scrapped just before it was to be signed.
- This new order sets a shorter 30-day review period for new A.I. models and directs the Treasury Secretary to establish an A.I. cybersecurity clearinghouse for reviewing discovered security vulnerabilities.
- The administration highlighted that while advanced A.I. can enhance national security, it also introduces new national security considerations necessitating coordinated executive action.
