President Donald Trump has signed an executive order mandating a review of all artificial intelligence (AI) models before their public release. The policy, which allows for up to 90 days of evaluation, is expected to impact the launch timelines for new AI products from major technology firms.

Trump signed the order in Silicon Valley, with the directive specifically tasking the Department of Justice to treat AI-assisted hacking and unauthorized computer access as high-priority crimes. The order states, "Criminal laws against anyone who utilizes AI to illegally access or damage a computer without authorization, or who utilizes AI while engaged in such illegal access to further any other crime."

The White House website noted on June 2, 2026, that the government intends to leverage AI technology to foster industry collaboration and ensure safety. Trump emphasized an "America First cybersecurity effort" aimed at bolstering both national security and global AI leadership. This initiative comes as other tech giants like Google's parent Alphabet and Meta are also heavily investing in AI infrastructure and services.

We will continue to lead an America First cybersecurity effort that enhances both our national security and our global AI dominance.
