Trump signs downsized AI order

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a scaled-back executive order</u> <u>that seeks to address the cybersecurity threats of artificial intelligence</u>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/06/promoting-advanced-artificial-intelligence-innovation-and-security/","_id":"0000019e-8952-d36f-abdf-ffd36b980000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000019e-8952-d36f-abdf-ffd36b980001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}”>a scaled-back executive order that seeks to address the cybersecurity threats of artificial intelligence — but with less-advanced government scrutiny than the White House had been set to impose last month, according to two White House officials familiar with the matter and two people with direct knowledge who were all granted anonymity to discuss it.
The order, signed privately, asks some AI companies to submit their powerful new models to a voluntary government review 30 days before releasing them to the public. Anearlier draft of the document had called for a voluntary review of as much as 90 days in advance, a provision that some AI industry officials had pushed to whittle to 14 days,POLITICO reported last month.
The signing comes after Trump participated in a small, high-level meeting at the White House on Monday about next steps for the AI executive order, according to one of the White House officials and two people familiar with the matter and granted anonymity to discuss the private conversation.
Trump had been scheduled to sign the 90-day version of the order May 21, butabruptly rejected that draft after speaking with former White House AI czar David Sacks hours before the planned signing. Sacks, who shared with the president concerns that the draft could impede the AI industry’s development, was dialed in from the Oval Office for Monday’s meeting, one of the people familiar with the discussion said.
The executive order signed Tuesday seeks to assuage industry concerns that it would create new red tape such as a mandatory vetting process. It says: “Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize the creation of a mandatory governmental licensing, preclearance, or permitting requirement for the development, publication, release, or distribution of new AI models, including frontier models.”
Similar language was in last month’s draft, which OpenAI, Anthropic and Google had all reviewed.
The executive order also establishes a Treasury-led AI cybersecurity clearing house to coordinate the patching of software vulnerabilities – a part that remained unchanged from the previous version.
The White House’s tweak to the executive order is just the latest in a series of huge shifts in the United States’ AI policy, driven by conflicting factions within Trump’s administration. Trump came into office seeking to ease regulatory burdens on AI in hopes of outcompeting China, but that policy has morphed as powerful new models threaten to undermine cybersecurity, including in the most sensitive computer systems.
The signing comes after a months-long debate over how aggressively the government should oversee advanced AI systems – a debate which intensified following Anthropic’s release of its advanced AI model, Mythos.
The people who have Trump’s ear on AI have largely been split into three camps</u>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/28/it-isnt-canceled-inside-the-white-house-divisions-on-ai-00938557?nid=0000018f-3124-de07-a98f-3be4d1400000&nname=politico-toplines&nrid=a78417f9-2368-43b3-9b4c-769b2eb1db20","_id":"0000019e-8952-d36f-abdf-ffd36b990003","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000019e-8952-d36f-abdf-ffd36b990004","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}”>split into three camps: a faction led by Sacks that argues lighter oversight is necessary for U.S. companies to compete with China; officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Undersecretary Emil Michael who favor stronger safeguards on frontier AI models; and a third group led by chief of staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that has supported a voluntary framework for companies to share information about new models with the federal government before public release.
