President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at giving the U.S. government and its critical infrastructure partners early access to powerful new AI models.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The EO<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0comes as policymakers, infrastructure operators and cybersecurity experts fret over <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>the vulnerability-finding capabilities<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> of frontier models such as Anthropic\u2019s still-private <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Claude Mythos<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> \u2014\u00a0and the security chaos those AI tools could cause in the wrong hands. It also comes two weeks after Trump <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>scrapped an earlier version of the order<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> following industry pushback.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The core of Trump\u2019s two-part directive is an AI model pre-release review process designed to help government agencies and infrastructure providers prepare for the consequences of emerging AI capabilities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The document gives the departments of Homeland Security and Treasury, the White House Office of the National Cyber Director and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 60 days to determine what constitutes a powerful enough AI model that the government should seek early access to it. AI companies will use the criteria to identify models that warrant government evaluation. The government will then request up to 30 days of pre-release access to those models, along with early access for select critical infrastructure operators.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The pre-release review timeframe is the only part of the executive order that significantly differs from the directive that Trump abruptly decided not to sign on May 21. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>That document<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> called for a review period lasting up to 90 days, but tech executives and some Trump advisers said that would be too long.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

New direction for Trump\u2019s AI policy<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The executive order represents a striking about-face for the Trump administration on AI security. On his first day in office in 2025, Trump <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>rescinded a Biden administration requirement<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> for AI companies to submit their safety tests to the government, calling it overly burdensome…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
