US President Donald Trump's administration is considering to vet US government oversight of artificial intelligence models before they are released to the public, The New York Times reported Monday (May 4). This is in reversal of the previous hands-off approach to the technology. The report said that the White House is discussing an executive order that would establish a working group of tech executives and government officials to examine potential review procedures for new AI models. Senior administration officials will hold meeting with executives from Anthropic, Google and OpenAI on some of the plans in meetings last week.
From deregulation push to policy rethink
Trump had earlier backed a free-market approach to artificial intelligence, dismantling safety review norms introduced under Joe Biden and warning that strict regulation could hurt America’s edge against China. The 2023 order that required AI firms to share safety data and follow federal standards was rolled back soon after Trump took office. However, growing public concern over AI’s impact on jobs, energy use, education, and mental health—along with bipartisan pressure—has prompted a shift in thinking within the administration.

The emergence of Mythos, developed by Anthropic, has intensified worries, especially due to its ability to detect software vulnerabilities that could trigger major cyber risks. Officials are keen to avoid the fallout of a potential AI-driven cyberattack and are also assessing military applications for advanced models. Meanwhile, internal changes, such as the exit of former AI czar David Sacks and the increased role of Susie Wiles and Scott Bessent—signal a more hands-on approach. A parallel legal dispute between Anthropic and the Pentagon over a $200 million contract has further complicated the policy landscape.
