Administration Mulls AI Regulation Executive Orders, but Substance Is in Flux

Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell : May 12, 2026  The Daily Signal

"...This administration has one goal; ensure the best and safest tech is deployed rapidly to defeat any and all threats. We appreciate the effort being made by the frontier labs to ensure that goal is met. ... The White House will continue to lead an America First effort that empowers America's great innovators, not bureaucracy, to drive safe deployment of powerful technologies while keeping America safe. Really, it's common sense!" -White House chief of staff Susie Wiles

The New York Times first reported that the White House is looking into an executive order to create a vetting system for frontier AI models.

The White House has worked on several draft executive orders, but the matter of which proposals make it to the president's desk is still being debated, sources familiar with the matter said. It is likely that one or more AI executive orders will be signed in the next two weeks.

There are differences of opinion within the administration about how strong the vetting process of new models should be, as some officials prefer a light touch to regulation while others want to aggressively vet new models.

The administration had previously taken a light touch to AI regulation, with officials like former AI czar David Sacks criticizing AI "doomers" who fear negative outcomes from the rapidly advancing technology. 

However, White House officials were motivated to implement a more heavy-handed approach due to increased awareness of the national security risks posed by new models like Anthropic's Mythos, as well as concerns about AI-enabledcyber-attacksbefore the midterms, sources said.

A White House official told The Daily Signal that any policy announcement on the subject will come directly from the president.

"Discussion about potential executive orders is speculation. The White House continues to proactively engage across government and industry to protect our country and the American people," the official said.

"This includes working with frontier AI labs to discuss opportunities for collaboration, as well as shared approaches and protocols to address the challenges associated with scaling this technology," the official added. "We are also exploring the balance between advancing innovation and ensuring security. The collective effort of all involved will ultimately benefit our country and economy."...
