With little fanfare, US President Donald Trump may have signed one of the most important executive orders in his second term at the White House. With the "Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security" EO, the US government is finally putting its finger on the scale of AI development, more or less demanding that AI companies provide it with access to their Frontier Models for a period of 30 days before their public release.
Since no national US regulations currently exist for AI and much of the oversight is being left to a hodgepodge of mostly in-process state-level regulation, this is the first whiff of broad-based control.
