U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order requiring artificial intelligence companies to give the federal government early access to their models before public release, according to CNBC.
The move is aimed at allowing regulators to assess the capabilities, risks, and security implications of advanced AI systems ahead of deployment. The order, signed privately, comes weeks after a previously planned signing ceremony was delayed amid disagreements with tech executives.
Officials say the policy is designed to strengthen national security and ensure safe innovation in the rapidly evolving AI sector. However, it is expected to spark debate in Silicon Valley over government oversight, data control, and potential impacts on private-sector AI development.
The decision marks another major step in Washington’s tightening approach to artificial intelligence regulation.
