Trump signs narrower executive order on AI oversight after industry objections

Trump signed a revised AI executive order after industry pushback, replacing a tougher draft with a lighter federal review process.

Some advanced AI models can be voluntarily submitted for government testing 30 days before release, but mandatory licensing or preclearance was dropped.

The order also tells the Justice Department to prioritize cases involving AI-enabled hacking and unauthorized access.

Overall, the move signals a more industry-friendly U.S. approach to frontier model oversight as companies race to deploy new systems.
