On June 2, the Trump administration issued an Executive Order (EO) on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity—just weeks after abruptly pulling a prior version at the eleventh hour, with tech leaders already assembled at the White House for a signing ceremony. In the wake of reports on the new capabilities of frontier models to identify and exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities at scale, the EO sets out the administration’s framework for voluntary government pre-release review of “covered fron

For much of the last year, the Trump Administration has signaled its opposition to state AI regulation that, in its view, could stifle innovation and impede the country’s ability to win the AI race. In its most recent salvo, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday, April 24, intervened in a lawsuit brought by xAI challenging Colorado’s SB24-205 (the Colorado AI Act). The DOJ alleges that the Colorado AI Act violates the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution, both by compelling AI d

States are playing a critical role in the development of AI policy in the United States, as serious legislative efforts at the federal level remain stalled. The Trump Administration and Republican Congress have signaled they plan to take a business-friendly, light-touch approach to AI regulation that prioritizes American innovation and emphasizes competition with China, and there is little prospect of Congress moving a substantive AI bill in the current political climate. Instead, states are mov

The rule was designed to limit adversary access to the inputs needed to build and train advanced AI systems, as well as to keep most AI data centers in the United States and allied countries. In a statement denouncing the rule, the US Department of Commerce’s
