US President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday seeking government oversight of emerging artificial intelligence technologies.<\/p>\n

Section 3 of the order calls for developing and maintaining a \u201cclassified benchmarking process to assess the advanced cyber capabilities of AI models.\u201d Specifically, the administration wants to determine which models are a \u201ccovered frontier model.\u201d These are the most powerful, high energy models available. Departments included in Section 3 are: War\/Defense, Treasury, Homeland Security, and Commerce.<\/p>\n

They distinguished the order from the Biden administration\u2019s policy, claiming they sought out a top-down approach.

Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA), co-Chairman of the bipartisan Congressional Artificial Intelligence Caucus, was critical of the order. He said the order \u201ccontinues to allow companies to release powerful models to the public without undergoing meaningful evaluation or review.\u201d Additionally he criticized the \u201cabsence of clear guidance on how identified threats would be addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The order can be seen as step towards defending against AI agents\u00a0and other cyberattacks on their own. Also, the defensive nature of the order heavily focuses on cyberattacks. Its defensive focus seeks to change what Vectra AI CEO Hitesh Sheth warned against, which was that attackers have an advantage. To change this, he recommended AI expertise at the top of enterprises. For the government, this can be…<\/p>\n
