U.S. President Donald Trump signed a new executive order aiming to promote artificial intelligence innovation while also introducing elevated cybersecurity safeguards, Reuters reported on June 2. On June 1, Florida's attorney general sued prominent AI company OpenAI over claims the company ignored safety protocols in favor of competition and subsequently contributed to violent incidents.

Among other stipulations, the executive order directs various federal agencies to create a benchmarking process to access advanced cyber capabilities of AI models within 60 days. It also creates a voluntary framework with AI developers, enabling them to provide the government with early access to frontier models to assess their risk 30 days before their public release. A prior version of the executive order, leaked by Politico on May 22, would have asked AI companies to submit frontier models within 90 days.
