President Trump Delays Executive Order on AI Security Amid Industry Concerns
President Trump has postponed the release of an executive order intended to establish a 90-day testing and vetting regime for frontier AI models. The order aimed to formalize cooperation between AI companies and the U.S. government, allowing for robust testing of new models before public release. Concerns about the order's potential impact on U.S. AI industry competitiveness, particularly with China, led to the delay. The draft order included provisions for cybersecurity testing and information sharing between AI companies and critical infrastructure sectors.
