(AP) – President Donald Trump\u00a0signed an executive order on oversight of artificial intelligence Tuesday, less than two weeks after\u00a0postponing\u00a0a White House ceremony over his concerns that a similar policy could dull America\u2019s technological edge.<\/p>\n

The order establishes a framework for the federal government to vet the national security risks of the most advanced\u00a0AI systems\u00a0for up to a month before their public release. Participation by AI developers would be voluntary, the order says.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdvanced AI capabilities make our Nation stronger, but also introduce new national security considerations that require coordinated action across executive departments and agencies,\u201d the order says.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear to what extent the order differed from the one Trump declined to sign on May 21.<\/p>\n

The order says the government would have only 30 days to review an AI system, a shorter time frame than some in the industry were expecting. A longer time period might have been seen as too burdensome for a fast-moving and highly competitive industry.<\/p>\n

Trump canceled an Oval Office event with tech industry executives last month because he did not like what he saw in the earlier version of the order\u2019s text. \u201cWe\u2019re leading China, we\u2019re leading everybody, and I don\u2019t want to do anything that\u2019s going to get in the way of that lead,\u201d Trump told reporters at the time.<\/p>\n

That directive was characterized as a voluntary collaboration with participating U.S.-based tech companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, which are sometimes described as \u201cfrontier labs\u201d because they are building the most advanced AI systems. Several companies had been planning to have executives present at the May 21 signing event. Trump ended up signing it without any ceremony.<\/p>\n

The White House said in a social media post Tuesday that the executive order \u201ccreates a process for frontier labs to voluntarily share cutting-edge cyber models in order to secure critical infrastructure and strengthen the government\u2019s own cyber defenses. We are NOT conducting oversight of all new models, as that level of government overreach would have chilling effects on free speech and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juan Londo\u00f1o, a policy analyst at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute, said the order is imperfect but \u201ca step in the right direction to prepare the nation for the release of advanced AI systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

He applauded the White House\u2019s characterization of the process as voluntary but said he was concerned about the vagueness of how the government, led by the\u00a0director of the National Security Agency, will decide which AI models qualify for scrutiny, and how it will decide which \u201ctrusted partners\u201d get early access to them.<\/p>\n

Londo\u00f1o said in an interview that giving so much discretion to the NSA director was a \u201cdangerous precedent\u201d that could enable the government to \u201cweaponize\u201d the policy against companies it is clashing with, like Anthropic.<\/p>\n

Plans for a new AI cybersecurity directive followed Anthropic\u2019s April announcement of its most advanced AI model, called Claude Mythos, in the middle of the company\u2019s legal fight with the Trump administration over a contract dispute with the Pentagon.<\/p>\n

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and outgoing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell soon after convened an urgent meeting with Wall Street CEOs, warning them about the risks posed by Mythos\u2019 apparent ability to find cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the world\u2019s software. Anthropic has limited access to Mythos to only a small group of trusted partners, such as big tech companies and banks, though it said Tuesday it has expanded that group by another 150 organizations.<\/p>\n

Anthropic called Trump\u2019s new order \u201can important step in strengthening America\u2019s leadership in AI\u201d and said it looks forward to collaborating with the White House to support its implementation.<\/p>\n

Its chief rival, ChatGPT maker OpenAI, also described the policy as an important step, as did Google.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs AI capabilities continue to advance, we believe effective safety frameworks should continue to be developed through democratic institutions, informed by technical expertise and broad stakeholder input, to promote accountability and public trust,\u201d said a statement from Chris Lehane, OpenAI\u2019s chief global affairs officer.<\/p>\n

Democratic Sen. Mark Warner, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, also welcomed Trump\u2019s policy but criticized the administration for having \u201cbelatedly discovered the need to redo something it hastily dismantled in its first year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump repealed many of former President Joe Biden\u2019s guardrails for AI just hours after returning to the White House last year.<\/p>\n
