The White House in a Tuesday executive order directed federal agencies to ask leading AI developers to voluntarily submit their most capable models for government cybersecurity tests before releasing them to the public.<\/p>\n

Some populists in the president’s orbit warn that AI presents a political risk, as proposals to build data centers to power these companies have stirred intense backlash.<\/p>\n

In his State of the Union speech in February, Trump said he told…<\/p>\n
