TRUMP SIGNS SWEEPING AI ORDER — SLASHES RED TAPE AND CREATES NATIONAL CYBERSECURITY CLEARINGHOUSE President Trump signed an executive order on June 2 titled Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security, a sweeping directive that aims to position the United States as the unchallenged global leader in artificial intelligence by cutting regulatory friction while hardening the country’s cyber defenses. The order establishes an AI Cybersecurity Clearinghouse, a voluntary program that would allow the federal government to work alongside the private sector to identify and remediate software vulnerabilities at scale. Frontier AI companies would be invited to participate in a framework that gives trusted government partners early access to new AI models, allowing them to flag national security concerns before public release. What the order expressly does not do is mandate licenses or permits for developing and releasing AI models. That was a deliberate signal to the industry that this administration views overregulation as the greater threat. The order also directs the Attorney General to prioritize prosecution of individuals who use AI to attack computer systems, steal data, or facilitate crimes. For companies that spent the Biden years navigating a thicket of proposed rules, the shift in tone is striking. Whether the clearinghouse attracts voluntary participation from the biggest players remains to be seen, but Washington is telling Silicon Valley it wants to be a partner, not a gatekeeper.
