Trump signs AI safety order seeking voluntary review of new models

The order requires AI companies to voluntarily submit their most powerful models for government testing up to 30 days before public release. Models must be reviewed by the U.S. government prior to public availability. The review period is set at a maximum of 30 days. The directive applies to all new AI models with significant public impact. Companies are not mandated to participate but must offer models for review. This establishes a formal pathway for government evaluation of high-impact AI models.
