While the White House backed away from mandatory vetting for AI systems, pro-regulation voices are hailing the new executive order as proof that the momentum is on their side.

The order asks AI companies to voluntarily submit their most powerful models for the government to test up to 30 days before releasing them to the public.

An earlier draft of the order was postponed after Trump said he “didn’t like certain aspects of it.”

President Donald Trump is an enthusiastic advocate for swift AI development in America, dismissing regulation as a curb on competing with China.

After industry objections, President Trump signed a revised AI executive order requiring only voluntary prerelease government reviews of advanced models.

The president signed a downsized AI order after postponing a similar measure last month.

Under the order, tech companies would voluntarily allow the government to review their new models before releasing them to the public.
