President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order this week aimed at increasing AI oversight and strengthening cybersecurity practices, according to reports. Multiple sources describe the order as addressing pressure from MAGA-aligned activists and political figures who have urged stricter security requirements for frontier AI model developers. The outlets say the draft order would create a framework that involves submitting the most capable AI models for security testing prior to release. One report characterizes the approach as a 90-day, pre-release disclosure process that is initially voluntary, with the federal government involved in assessing or receiving information from model developers. It also states that providers tied to critical infrastructure, including banks, would be involved early in the process. Both sources reference the efforts of Steve Bannon and Amy Kremer, who have pushed for stronger, potentially mandatory requirements for model testing and disclosure. While the reporting aligns on the political push and the general direction of tighter oversight, it differs on details such as whether the pre-release framework is voluntary versus mandatory. The order’s timing is reported as potentially as early as Thursday.
