   Trump signs executive order for voluntary AI model testing after industry pushback

   President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday asking AI companies to voluntarily submit their most advanced models to the government for security testing before public release. The order was initially canceled after tech industry leaders like Elon Musk and David Sacks argued it would be too burdensome, but Trump went ahead with a revised version that emphasizes voluntary participation rather than mandatory requirements.

   AI companies can now choose whether to share their latest models with government agencies like the Pentagon before launch, potentially affecting how quickly new AI features reach consumers.

   UK requires Google to let publishers opt out of AI search features

   British regulators are forcing Google to create a tool that allows website publishers to prevent their content from being used in AI-powered search results. The feature will be tested in the UK first before rolling out globally, giving news sites and other content creators more control over how their material is used by AI systems.

   Website owners will soon have the ability to block their content from appearing in AI-generated search summaries, potentially changing what information AI search tools can access.

   Global coalition explores building powerful AI models through international cooperation

   The AI Alliance, founded by IBM and Meta, launched Project Tapestry to investigate whether multiple countries can work together to build frontier-scale AI models (the most advanced AI systems available) rather than relying on single companies. About 30 researchers from countries including Switzerland, India, and Singapore met in Paris to discuss sharing data, computing power, and expertise while maintaining local control.

   This could lead to more countries having access to cutting-edge AI technology without depending entirely on a few major tech companies, potentially affecting which AI services are available globally.

   OpenAI proposes federal framework for AI safety governance

   OpenAI published a blueprint outlining how the US government should regulate frontier AI systems, focusing on safety, resilience, and national security. The proposal comes as the company seeks to influence how advanced AI development will be overseen at the federal level.

   OpenAI's recommendations could shape future US AI regulations, potentially affecting how quickly new AI features are developed and released to the public.
