A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
President Trump signed an executive order on June 2, 2026, establishing a voluntary framework for AI security that focuses on using AI to boost security of federal and private computer systems and ensuring government access to major new AI models. While the order acknowledges AI risks and aligns with safety experts on potential harms, it stops short of imposing mandatory regulations on the AI industry, marking a shift from a previous December 2025 order that sought a minimally burdensome national AI framework.
