US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order (EO) that marks a notable evolution in the administration’s stance on artificial intelligence (AI). The EO balances national security and cybersecurity risks with innovation as AI capabilities continue to advance.
The EO calls for AI developers to voluntarily share certain new models with the federal government up to 30 days before providing access to other partners and directs national security agencies to create a framework for evaluating AI-related risks and establishing an AI-cybersecurity clearinghouse.
In this article, we summarize key provisions of the EO, provide an overview of the administration’s evolving stance on AI, and analyze what implementation of the EO means for stakeholders.
