OpenAI said it will comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order asking advanced AI companies to give the U.S. government early access to powerful models before release. The decision puts one of the world’s leading AI developers behind a voluntary framework that could shape how frontier models are reviewed for cybersecurity risks.
Highlights
- OpenAI says it will comply with Trump’s voluntary AI model review order.
- The order asks for up to 30 days of early access to certain frontier models before release.
- The government will develop classified benchmarks to assess advanced cyber capabilities.
- The White House says the framework is voluntary and not a licensing regime.
OpenAI backs voluntary review
George Osborne, OpenAI’s head of OpenAI for Countries, told CNBC the company would sign up to the order, saying democratic governments have a role in how the technology is used and deployed. Osborne, a former U.K. finance minister, said OpenAI takes its responsibilities seriously and has proactively suggested ways for governments to monitor safety and security issues.
Osborne joined OpenAI to lead its OpenAI for Countries initiative, a program focused on working with governments on AI infrastructure and deployment. OpenAI has positioned that work as part of a broader push to align national AI systems with democratic values and public-sector needs.
What the order requires
Trump signed the executive order on June 2. It directs U.S. agencies to develop a classified benchmarking process to assess the advanced cyber capabilities of AI models and determine when a system should be classified as a “covered frontier model.”
The order asks AI developers to participate in a voluntary framework that would give the federal government access to covered frontier models for up to 30 days before they are released to other trusted partners. The White House said the aim is to strengthen cybersecurity and promote secure innovation, while the order states it does not create mandatory licensing, pre-clearance or permitting requirements for AI model development or release.
A new test for AI oversight
For OpenAI, participation may help build trust with regulators and national-security agencies as its models become more capable and more deeply embedded in public and private systems.
The policy also shows the balance Washington is trying to strike: tighter visibility into frontier AI risks without slowing U.S. companies in the global AI race.
The next test will be whether other major AI labs join the same framework and whether the 30-day review window gives agencies enough time to identify serious cyber risks before new models are released.
It was earlier reported that SpaceX and OpenAI IPOs could heighten risks in AI sector.
