Trump Weighs Executive Order Creating Pre-Release Review System for Advanced AI Models

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity that would establish a voluntary federal framework for reviewing advanced AI models before public release. Developers would be required to submit models 90 days prior to deployment.

The proposed order includes provisions for limited early access for critical infrastructure operators such as banks. It has been developed over the past month with input from senior White House officials and industry stakeholders.

The framework aims to balance innovation with national security concerns surrounding frontier AI systems. It comes amid ongoing debates about risks from advanced models like GPT-5.5-Cyber and Mythos.

The White House is inviting major AI company CEOs to the signing ceremony. The Department of Commerce’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation is expected to play a central role in voluntary testing.

The move reflects growing divisions within the US on how to regulate powerful AI systems while maintaining technological competitiveness.

Technology executives continue to engage closely with the administration on these policy developments.
