Trump revives parts of canceled AI order with cybersecurity-focused directive

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at strengthening cybersecurity defenses and establishing a voluntary framework for cooperation between the federal government and developers of advanced artificial intelligence models, reviving portions of a broader AI initiative that he abruptly shelved less than two weeks ago.

Trump administration releases scaled-back AI executive order

The Trump administration issued a revised executive order Tuesday focused on artificial intelligence, offering a significantly pared-back vision for the federal government’s role vetting AI systems compared to a draft version that was spiked weeks ago.

That distinction matters because organized crime requires an…

The March 6 executive order rests on a simple, correct idea: cyber-enabled fraud persists because it is profitable, scalable, and too often tolerated. So the government’s answer is to raise the cost.
