Trump signs narrower AI oversight executive order

President Trump has signed a revised executive order focusing on AI oversight, requiring certain AI companies to voluntarily submit new models for government review 30 days prior to release. This move follows industry pushback against an earlier, more stringent draft that proposed a 90-day review period. The order aims to balance AI development with national interests, particularly in relation to competition with China, and explicitly avoids mandatory licensing or preclearance requirements. Additionally, the order designates AI-assisted crimes as a high-priority enforcement area for the Department of Justice.
