On June 3, 2026, Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at expanding the government's efforts to conduct voluntary safety testing of advanced AI models. Critics have expressed concerns that the order may not effectively address AI risks and could be seen as merely performative. Last month, Trump had canceled a signing event for an earlier version of the executive order, citing concerns that it might hinder AI innovation. The finalized order emphasizes a voluntary collaboration process for AI firms with the government, without imposing strict regulations or requirements.
