Federal cybersecurity officials conducted a briefing with major artificial intelligence companies regarding a proposed executive order that would grant intelligence and other federal agencies authority to examine advanced AI systems prior to public deployment, according to a Wednesday report from the Information.
The Office of the National Cyber Director organized Tuesday’s meeting with several AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic and Reflection AI, the publication reported, referencing sources with knowledge of the discussions.
According to the report, U.S. President Donald Trump may sign the executive order as early as Thursday. The proposed order would create a voluntary system requiring developers of cutting-edge AI models to alert the federal government before major product launches.
Under this proposed framework, AI companies would have the option to provide their advanced models to government agencies as much as 90 days prior to making them available to the public, the report indicated.
When contacted by Reuters for comment, OpenAI, Anthropic and Reflection AI had not provided immediate responses.
