President Trump signs executive order establishing voluntary AI model review framework.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday establishing a voluntary framework for AI companies to share advanced models with the federal government up to 30 days before public release for cybersecurity review. The order directs agencies to bolster cyber defenses and creates a classified benchmarking process to identify 'frontier models' with advanced cyber capabilities. It explicitly prohibits mandatory licensing or preclearance requirements for AI development.
