Trump Signs Scaled-Back AI Executive Order: Voluntary 30-Day Frontier-Model Review After Musk and Zuckerberg Lobbied Down a 90-Day Draft

The Register·high signal

On June 2 Trump signed an EO asking frontier labs to voluntarily submit their most powerful models to the government for testing up to 30 days before release — cut from a 90-day draft after Musk, Zuckerberg, and Sacks lobbied and mandatory licensing was dropped. It also directs agencies to build cyber-capability benchmarks and stand up an 'AI cybersecurity clearinghouse' for sharing model vulnerabilities. For builders, this is the first concrete US federal pre-release review framework, even if non-binding.
