Trump just signed an AI executive order most people missed
This one slipped under the radar this week and I wanted to put it here because barely anyone is talking about it.
On June 2 the White House signed a new executive order on AI called Advanced AI Innovation and Security. The short version is that the US wants to stay at the front of AI, and to do that they are setting up a framework around the most powerful frontier models. A few things stood out to me.
It sets up an AI cybersecurity clearinghouse and a voluntary framework for the government and the AI labs to work together on developing and deploying frontier models. It also points toward the government getting early access to evaluate the most capable models for security reasons before they go out. And it is written as voluntary, with no mandatory licensing or pre approval required, at least for now.
The part I keep going back and forth on is that word voluntary. On paper it is just a foundation and the labs are not forced to do anything. But once national security becomes the framing, you have to wonder how voluntary it really stays, and what that means for whether these companies keep anything open source down the line.
I broke the whole order down in a new video. What it actually says, the national security angle, and where I think this could go with the big labs. Link is here: https://youtu.be/nlmrJKmPgxM
Curious what you all think. A real guardrail, or the first step toward the government having a say in every frontier model? Drop a comment, I read all of them.
