The White House is drafting executive orders to address advanced AI security risks, including measures that would prevent companies from restricting government access to their AI models.
According to sources familiar with the discussions, the administration is developing policies focused on mitigating potential threats posed by advanced artificial intelligence systems. The proposed orders would bar AI companies from "interfering" with federal government use of their models, ensuring agencies can deploy cutting-edge AI tools without corporate restrictions.
The move reflects growing concerns about AI security at the federal level. As advanced AI systems become increasingly powerful and integrated into critical infrastructure, policymakers are weighing how to ensure government agencies can leverage these technologies while maintaining control over their deployment.
The specific mechanics of how such restrictions would be enforced remain unclear. Questions persist about what constitutes "interference" and how the government would compel companies to provide access to proprietary models. The orders would likely need to balance national security interests against industry concerns over intellectual property and liability.
A White House spokesperson confirmed that any official policy announcements would come directly from President Donald Trump. The timeline for executive orders remains uncertain, though sources indicate the administration views this as a priority.
The proposals align with broader federal efforts to regulate AI development and deployment. Separate initiatives are underway across multiple agencies to establish AI governance frameworks, set security standards, and assess risks to national security and critical infrastructure.
Industry observers note the orders could create friction between the government and major AI developers, particularly regarding access to proprietary models and the ability of companies to audit government use of their technology. The proposals may also prompt legal challenges over government authority to mandate access to private technology.
The White House has not released draft language or details about which agencies would be affected or how broad the orders would be. Further details are expected when official announcements are made.
