The White House is preparing to release a new executive order focused on artificial intelligence safety and cybersecurity as early as this week, according to a report by Axios.
The order is expected to give the U.S. government early access to advanced AI models before their broader public deployment in order to evaluate potential technical and security risks.
The initiative also aims to strengthen cybersecurity standards and improve oversight of increasingly powerful AI systems amid growing concerns in Washington over cyberattacks, misinformation, and broader national security risks tied to artificial intelligence.
The move comes as global competition among major technology companies accelerates in the race to develop more advanced and autonomous AI models, increasing pressure on governments to establish stronger regulatory frameworks for the sector.
