President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday aimed at securing the government an early look at powerful new artificial intelligence models, giving officials a chance to brace the economy for security risks.
Trump’s advisers have been divided over the question of how to respond to a new generation of AI tools that are adept at breaking into computer systems. The president had been expected to sign an order on the issue last month but reversed course following last-minute lobbying by tech industry executives and his former AI point man, David Sacks.
