Executive order sets 30-day review for advanced AI models
The order requires federal evaluation of new AI models before market release. It replaces a longer review period proposed earlier and states that participation is voluntary.
abcnews.go.comAn executive order issued Tuesday requires the federal government to evaluate the most advanced AI models within 30 days before they reach the market. The order replaces an earlier proposal for a 90-day review period. It states that the review should not be interpreted as creating a mandatory licensing or permitting system.
Background to the order The shorter timeline follows objections from venture capitalists who described the 90-day period as too long for the pace of AI development. The order was issued after an earlier executive order on AI regulation was withdrawn in May.
The text specifies that company participation in the review is voluntary, though the document notes the government has become more assertive in its approach to the sector.
Scope and limits The order applies only to the most advanced models.
It does not establish new regulatory powers beyond the 30-day evaluation window. The measure was presented as a compromise between industry concerns and calls for oversight of AI technology.
