Trump signed a June 2 executive order creating a voluntary federal review framework for advanced AI models before release, after earlier, broader drafts drew industry pushback.
The White House published an executive order on June 2 that sets up a federal framework for reviewing the most advanced AI models before public release, a narrower approach than earlier versions that had drawn industry objections.
The order, titled Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security, was signed by President Donald Trump, according to reporting from AP and other outlets. The White House posted the text the same day.
According to the reporting, the final version shifts the government’s role toward a voluntary pre-release review process for frontier models rather than mandatory controls. It also allows trusted partners early access to covered models as part of the security review framework.
The move follows delays to an earlier, broader draft after pushback from industry and internal debate. Coverage from The Washington Post, Axios, TechCrunch and AP said the administration narrowed the plan before releasing the final order.
The order is aimed at balancing AI innovation with national security concerns, but several details remain unclear, including which companies or agencies will take part in the voluntary process and how the framework will operate in practice.
