Trump Signs AI Executive Order Asking Companies to Give Government Early Access to Models
The order calls for a 30-day voluntary review of new models and directs federal agencies to strengthen cybersecurity for critical infrastructure.
- President Donald Trump signed a highly anticipated executive order on Tuesday establishing a voluntary framework for the federal government to vet powerful new AI models before they are released to the public.
- The order asks tech companies to voluntarily share their advanced frontier models with the government for a preview window of up to 30 days, narrowing down an earlier, heavily criticized draft proposal that had floated a mandatory 90-day review period.
- This regulatory shift was strongly motivated by escalating national security and cybersecurity anxieties, specifically catalyzed by Anthropic's unreleased "Mythos" model, which demonstrated unprecedented, highly advanced capabilities to exploit software vulnerabilities and hack networks.
- The executive order officially directs federal agencies to create a classified benchmarking process led by the National Security Agency to evaluate the severe cyber capabilities of AI models, while also instructing the Treasury Department to open a voluntary cybersecurity clearinghouse to scan for and patch software vulnerabilities.
- The final text represents a complex political compromise for the administration, which sought to balance intense pressure from hardline supporters demanding strict mandatory vetting against furious pushback from major tech allies who argued that over-regulation would stifle American innovation.
