Trump could sign AI executive order as soon as Thursday
(CNN) — The White House on Thursday postponed plans for President Donald Trump to sign an executive order establishing a voluntary review process for artificial intelligence models before they’re released, according to a source familiar with the plans.Trump said he had delayed the EO signing because he “didn’t like certain aspects” of the order. The signing was expected on Thursday afternoon and had been postponed several times already.The order was expected to include a voluntary agreement in which AI companies would share advanced models with the government for a period of time ahead of launch, according to two sources with knowledge of the discussions around the executive order. The timeframe has been a point of discussion between the industry and the government, with one version of the executive order laying out an up to 90-day pre-launch review period while some of the AI companies involved prefer a shorter period, such as 14 days, the sources said.But Trump said on Thursday he thought the executive order “gets in the way,” adding that the United States is “leading China, we’re leading everybody.”“I really thought that could’ve been a blocker, and I want to make sure that it’s not,” Trump added.Some of the biggest AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, have been engaging with the White House on the executive order, according to two sources with knowledge of the discussions.Advanced AI models can supercharge cyberattacks, experts have said, and an early review could help the government protect against threats before they’re unleashed in the world.One draft version of the executive order is split into two sections: one on cybersecurity and another called “covered frontier models,” according to another source briefed on the discussions. The latter portion defines which types of AI models would be eligible for the voluntary framework for early government review and the possible 90-day pre-public access for the government.The cybersecurity section outlines a voluntary “clearinghouse” formed by the Treasury Department, other agencies and AI companies to find and fix security vulnerabilities in the unreleased AI models. It also calls for more hiring at the US Tech Force, a body of engineers recruited to modernize government computer systems.The White House declined to comment.The Trump administration had taken a more hands-off approach to AI regulation until recently, when Anthropic unveiled its Mythos model, which it says can exploit cybersecurity vu...
Trump to sign order on AI oversight as security fears mount ... - Reuters
SummaryCompaniesTrump faces pressure from MAGA activists for stricter AI security oversightTech industry leaders resist mandatory AI regulations, favor voluntary collaborationDebate over AI oversight could affect model rollout, industry profits, and national securityWASHINGTON, May 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on AI and cybersecurity as soon as Thursday, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, as pressure grows from parts of his political base to increase oversight of new AI models, such as Anthropic's Mythos.The White House was working to get AI company CEOs to a signing ceremony with President Donald Trump, another source familiar with the planning said. Sign up here.The order would create a voluntary framework for AI developers to engage with the U.S. government about the public release of covered models, the sources said. Under the framework, the developers would be asked to provide their models to the government 90 days before public release, and also give pre-public access to critical infrastructure providers such as banks, one of the people said.Such an approach may represent a middle ground among Trump supporters.MAGA activists, including former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and right-wing political organizer Amy Kremer, have been pressing the White House to require AI developers to submit their most capable models for government security tests.On the other side of the debate are tech industry supporters such as venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and former Trump adviser David Sacks, who are resistant to mandatory requirements. Sacks in March stepped down from his role as Trump's lead AI official and is now co-chairing the president's tech advisory committee. Trump’s AI policies in his second term have largely reflected the tech industry’s perspective.NEW MODELS DRIVING DEBATEA White House spokesperson called any discussion about AI policy details "speculation." A National Security Agency spokesperson directed Reuters to contact the White House when asked about details of the president's plan. National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross, who serves as Trump's principal adviser on cybersecurity policy and strategy, did not respond to requests for comment.The order was the result of work by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, White House Science & Technology Adviser Michael Kratsios, Wiles' deputy Walker Barrett, and Cairncross over the last month, with input from AI companies, the s...
Trump wants AI models 90 days before they go public | IT Pro - ITPro
AI developers could be forced to hand over their new frontier models 90 days before a public launch, according to leaked accounts of a draft executive order from US President Donald Trump.Multiple media reports have cited sources saying that the Trump administration plans to issue an executive order as early as this week, laying out government agencies that will get advanced access to frontier models in order to scrutinise their capabilities.Reports suggest the administration could be demanding access to new frontier models 90 days before they're made public, according to Axios, and give the Pentagon time to look over security-focused models – and secure its own systems, as well as alert other impacted organisations of potentially looming flaws. Reuters said a source suggested critical infrastructure organisations such as banks could also get access to frontier models before the general public.Beyond the advance access, the order will ask AI developers to keep the government updated on incoming models and offer access to their infrastructure.According to a report from Politico, the White House began detailing the directive to AI companies on Tuesday, and it's expected to be made official as early as today. The Pentagon is expected to be given 30 days to set up its security "clearinghouse", while a group of federal agencies will have 60 days to decide what defines a model as "frontier".A White House spokesperson told Reuters the reports were nothing but "speculation." Last year, Trump issued an executive order banning states from local regulation of AI in order to create a federal rule.Drawn out process The details of this latest executive order have been much debated and have changed multiple times throughout the process, with one report noting that the order could change or be further delayed if discussions with AI labs don't go as planned.Sign up today and you will receive a free copy of our Future Focus 2025 report - the leading guidance on AI, cybersecurity and other IT challenges as per 700+ senior executivesCNN noted that some of the AI companies involved in the discussion have pushed back against the 90-day access in favour of just 14 days. On the other hand, a group of Republican politicians wrote to Trump last week demanding government oversight and approval of "potentially dangerous" systems.Key industry players, including Google and Microsoft, two weeks ago agreed to give the government early access via the Centre for AI Standards and Innovation...
