President Donald Trump has signed an executive order on artificial intelligence that revised a draft one that was apparently scuttled at the behest of AI companies.
Unlike other orders often signed in public, Trump signed this one privately, according toPolitico. The political news outlet cited “two White House officials familiar with the matter granted anonymity to discuss it.”
The order seeks to have some AI companies submit new products for a voluntary government review 30 days before release.
A draft that was canceled at the last minute on May 21 had called for a 90-day advance review period. Companies had sought an advance review limited to 14 days before release.
Trump said at the time there was a concern that the initial draft of the order negatively impacted the competitive position of America’s AI companies, according toNBC News.
“We’re leading China, we’re leading everybody, and I don’t want to do anything that’s going to get in the way of that lead,” Trump said at the time.

Theorderstressed that the Trump administration does not want to stifle innovation.
“The United States continues to lead the world in Artificial Intelligence (AI) because of the enormous talent and innovation of our AI industry, and because we refuse to stifle this innovation with overly burdensome regulation,” the order said.
