Trump’s big AI order could land as soon as Thursday - Politico

The administration prepared an executive order to ask tech companies to submit advanced AI models for federal review and invited tech leaders to an expected signing; the draft emphasized voluntary safety assessments but was shaped by NDA-bound talks with major firms, contributing to its postponement. OpenAI’s release of GPT-5.6 within 24 hours of a reported request to stagger releases highlights industry willingness to push forward with deployments and complicates efforts to secure voluntary or mandatory pre-release reviews. That rapid rollout may intensify debates inside the administration about whether stronger review requirements are needed and how to enforce them without undermining competitiveness.
