President Trump Delays AI Security Executive Order Over Language Concerns

President Trump has postponed the signing of an executive order intended to allow the government to evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) models before their release. The order was designed to task the Office of the National Cyber Director and other agencies with developing a process to assess AI models for security vulnerabilities. This move comes in response to concerns about AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 Cyber, which have the potential to exploit security weaknesses. A key issue in the order's language is a proposed requirement for AI companies to share advanced models with the government 14 to 90 days before launch. President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the order, fearing it could hinder the U.S.'s leadership in AI development. Additionally, the lack of attendance by major tech CEOs at the signing event contributed to the delay.

President Donald Trump has postponed the signing of an executive order that would have increased government oversight of advanced AI models. The decision came after last-minute interventions from tech industry leaders, including SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg. These leaders expressed concerns that the proposed safety vetting system could hinder the development of AI technology, which is crucial to the U.S. economy. The executive order aimed to establish a voluntary review framework, allowing federal agencies a 90-day period to assess new AI models before their public release. However, industry leaders feared this could lead to a de facto mandatory regime, slowing innovation and potentially giving China an edge in AI development.
