OpenAI will voluntarily comply with President Donald Trump’s new AI executive order, according to George Osborne, the company’s head of countries.
The order was signed on Tuesday and focuses on early access to advanced AI systems. It asks companies to provide access to their latest AI models 30 days before public release. However, it does not force firms to submit or hand over the models formally.
The policy was initially stricter in its early draft. At that stage, it required companies to submit AI models up to 90 days before launch. Later, the proposal was revised after public criticism and concerns raised by industry players. Donald Trump also expressed doubts about the original version, which led to changes in the final order.
OpenAI plans to take part in the review framework outlined in the order. The company will submit its next-generation models for a structured benchmarking process. This process will test the advanced cyber capabilities of AI systems.
It will also help decide when a model should be labeled as a “covered frontier model.” This label is meant for highly advanced AI systems that may need extra oversight.
Speaking at SXSW in London, George Osborne said OpenAI has already suggested ways for governments to monitor AI safety and security risks. He added that these efforts are not limited to the United States. Instead, they are being discussed in a broader global context.
