OpenAI says it will comply with Trump's order requiring AI model reviews before release
OpenAI said it will comply with the White House order that requires federal-level reviews of AI models before release. The company said its existing safety testing already largely aligns with the directive. The order is seen as a significant step in the Trump administration's AI policy.
CNBC Top NewsOpenAI announced it will follow a Trump administration order that requires federal-level reviews of AI models before broad release. In a statement to CNBC, the company said its existing safety testing largely meets the order's requirements. Executives said they do not expect the process to delay their model launch timelines.
The order does not yet fully clarify which models will fall under the review or which agency will conduct it. Other major developers such as Microsoft and Google have not separately set out how they will implement the directive. Academic researchers say they are waiting for more detail on the scope and transparency of the federal review.
In the coming weeks the administration is expected to announce the operational details of the review mechanism. OpenAI's statement stands out as the first major developer publicly aligning with the order. Industry participants and regulators will closely watch further announcements through the process.
