“We have a very substantial standard on AI, it’s causing – it’s causing tremendous good, and it’s also bringing in a lot of jobs, tremendous numbers of jobs,” Trump said, adding, “again, we have more people working right now than we’ve ever had. I really thought that could have been a blocker.”

In the new executive order, the US government will collaborate with select trusted partners “that will have early access to covered frontier models to promote secure innovation and strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure”.
