The White House said on Tuesday the Trump administration is keeping open the
option of further administrative action to address risks from open-source AI
models. Last month the president signed an executive order establishing a
voluntary review regime for AI models; officials said substantial follow-up work
is ongoing. At the July 2 launch of the regime, the National Cyber Director said
the order “includes open-source scanning and coordination mechanisms” and added
that protecting and strengthening the open-source ecosystem is necessary to
deliver the administration’s objectives. Firms including Reflection AI have
submitted new framework proposals to the administration, prompting market
speculation Washington could issue additional executive orders or guidance
affecting the open-source AI sector.
