President Trump signs an executive order on AI oversight.
President Trump yesterday signed an executive order focused on AI oversight and innovation, calling for a voluntary review process through which the Federal government will have access to frontier AI models for thirty days before they are released to other trusted partners. This process will be organized by the "Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, through the Director of NSA, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, through the Director of CISA, in consultation with the White House Chief of Staff, through the National Cyber Director, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST), and the Secretary of Commerce, through the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and in coordination with other agencies."
The Treasury Secretary will also form an AI cybersecurity clearinghouse "in voluntary collaboration with the AI industry and operators of critical infrastructure, that coordinates and deconflicts scanning for software vulnerabilities, discovers and validates such vulnerabilities, and coordinates and prioritizes remediation and distribution of vulnerability patches."
Major technology firms, including Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, publicly supported the revised order, calling it a reasonable balance between safety and innovation, according to the New York Times. However, some industry leaders remain concerned that government oversight could slow development in the rapidly evolving industry.
