  • The Executive Order, Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security (Order), directs the creation of a framework for developers of advanced frontier models to engage with the federal government for a voluntary pre-release review of the models.
  • The Order also directs the Treasury Department, together with the National Security Agency (NSA) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), to establish a clearinghouse to coordinate cyber vulnerability scanning, discovery, and patch distribution, in collaboration with private sector artificial intelligence (AI) and critical infrastructure companies.
  • CISA must issue Binding Operational Directives (BODs) and other guidance to expedite cyber defense of civilian federal systems and expand use of AI-enabled defensive tools.
  • The Order directs the Attorney General to prioritize prosecution of AI- and AI agent- facilitated computer crimes, identity theft offenses, and wire fraud schemes.
  • Developers considering engagement with the federal government for model pre-release review will need to assess the scope of pre-release access and the safeguards available during the early access window.
  • Companies seeking to become trusted partners should engage carefully with the U.S. government; those trusted partners may receive early access to covered frontier models, but also may be asked to disclose sensitive information and agree to continuing collaboration with the government.

The European Commission has published draft guidelines (Draft Guidelines) to clarify the classification of high-risk AI systems under the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act).

The Draft Guidelines provide general principles which inform if an AI system is high-risk, as well as a non-exhaustive list of examples of high-risk AI systems across various sectors. Organizations can provide feedback on the Draft Guidelines via this survey until June 23, 2026.
