President Trump signed a voluntary AI oversight executive order requiring model reviews 30 days before public release, following industry negotiations.Summary
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order requiring AI companies to voluntarily submit powerful new models to the government for review 30 days before their public release. This version is narrower than an earlier proposal that suggested a 90-day window, a change made after receiving pushback from industry leaders like David Sacks, who were concerned about impeding U.S. competitiveness against China. The order explicitly states it does not authorize mandatory licensing or pre-clearance requirements. Additionally, the directive tasks the Department of Justice with prioritizing the investigation of AI-assisted crimes, such as hacking.
