Trump Considers Executive Order to Vet New AI Models

The Trump administration is exploring a new executive order to establish a government-industry "A.I. working group." ^[1][2] This group would review new artificial intelligence models before their public release. ^[1][3] The proposal represents a notable change in the administration's policy approach to technology regulation. ^[3]

The plan could involve formal review processes led by the Pentagon. ^[1] Key intelligence agencies, including the NSA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, may also participate. ^[1] This collaboration aims to evaluate potential risks before systems become accessible to the general public. ^[1][2]

Supporters suggest the move strengthens national security. ^[1] However, some industry experts view this as an unexpected shift from previous deregulatory stances. ^[3] Details on the specific criteria for model approval remain under discussion within the administration. ^[2]
