U.S. agencies would get up to 30 days to test the \u200bmodels before they are released to organizations outside the government, according to the order. It also directs \u2060the agencies to emphasize bolstering cyber defense across government.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"promo-box\" class=\"text-module__text__0GDob text-module__dark-grey__UFC18 text-module__regular__qJJtA text-module__small__sph8i body-module__base__o--Cl body-module__small_body__gOmDf article-body-module__promo-box__hVl8h\"> Sign up  here.<\/p>\n<h2 data-testid=\"Heading\" class=\"text-module__text__0GDob text-module__dark-grey__UFC18 text-module__medium__2Rl30 text-module__heading_6__u1KdJ heading-module__base__p-zaD heading-module__heading_6__-zrtS article-body-module__heading__KTJKz\">SHIFT IN TRUMP&#8217;S AI STRATEGY<\/h2>\n<p>The order signals Trump is shifting his strategy on AI and \u200btaking a more active role in monitoring the technology&#8217;s capabilities.

The president&#8217;s decision to implement voluntary testing could hurt the industry&#8217;s profits if it slows the rollout of new models or prompts the companies to change how they perform to address security concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic, OpenAI \u200band Alphabet&#8217;s (GOOGL.O)<span style=\"border:0;clip:rect(0 0 0 0);clip-path:inset(50%);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px;white-space:nowrap\">, opens new tab<\/span> Google met with the U.S. government about cybersecurity, a senior U.S. official said in May on a call with reporters \u200babout the executive order&#8217;s development.
