Trump delays AI security executive order: ‘I don’t want to get in the way of that leading’
Summary
President Donald Trump has postponed an executive order that would have mandated government security evaluations for advanced AI models before their public release. Trump expressed concerns that the draft's language, which included requirements for companies to share models with the government up to 90 days prior to launch, might stifle American innovation and competitiveness against China. While Trump cited policy concerns, reports suggest scheduling issues regarding the attendance of key tech CEOs also contributed to the delay. The proposed order was intended to address security vulnerabilities associated with powerful models like Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 Cyber.
