Trump Signs Voluntary AI Model Review Executive Order
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on June 2 titled "Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security," the White House says. The order directs federal agencies to develop benchmarks for assessing AI cybersecurity, create an "AI cybersecurity clearinghouse," and solicit voluntary submission of the most capable or "covered frontier models" to government cybersecurity testing up to 30 days before public release, according to the White House and reporting by Reuters and NPR. The order explicitly avoids imposing a licensing scheme or mandatory preapproval, Reuters and Federal News Network report, but several commentators told Politico the move expands Washington's willingness to scrutinize AI. Supporters and skeptics quoted in Politico and Reuters differ on whether the voluntary framework will become a pathway to stronger rules.
