Trump Administration Considers Executive Order for AI Model Review Before Public Release

The Trump administration is considering an executive order that would create a group of tech executives and government officials to review AI models before they are released to the public, according to reporting by The New York Times.

This represents a significant reversal from the administration's previous approach of loose regulation toward the AI industry, despite JD Vance recently stating the administration would take a very different approach from the Biden administration in terms of regulating this technology.

Multiple AI companies—Google, Microsoft, xAI, Anthropic, and OpenAI—have already said they would give the government early access to their models, which the administration's proposed oversight aligns with.
