Trump Administration Mandates Pre-Release Government Review of Advanced AI Systems

This marks the first formal AI governance framework of Trump's second term, establishing a 30-day pre-release review period for advanced AI models like Claude Mythos and GPT-5.5. By requiring government access before public deployment, the administration aims to identify vulnerabilities and prevent potential cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. The compromise—reduced from an initial 90-day proposal—reflects emerging consensus between government and industry that measured oversight is necessary to balance innovation with national security.
