Trump signs scaled-back AI cybersecurity order

President Trump signed an executive order assigning the Office of the National Cyber Director to develop a process for sharing AI-identified software vulnerabilities with critical infrastructure operators before model public release. The federal government has 30 days at best to review new AI models. The order was scaled back after pressure from tech industry insiders and a private White House meeting where Trump and advisors revised the original directive. The directive now requires only select AI companies to share vulnerability data with banks, utilities, and hospitals. This limits the scope of AI model evaluation and reduces potential regulatory burden on developers.
