President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to oversee the release of AI models, asking companies to voluntarily submit their models for government review 30 days before public release. This decision comes after industry pushback against a more stringent 90-day review proposal. The order aims to balance regulatory oversight with maintaining the U.S. competitive edge against China. It also directs the Department of Justice to prioritize AI-related crimes. The order explicitly states it does not create mandatory licensing for AI models.
