Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security
President Donald J. Trump’s order directs the federal government to speed up cybersecurity upgrades tied to advanced artificial intelligence while keeping AI development voluntary and industry-focused rather than heavily regulated. It tells national security, defense, homeland security, treasury, and civilian agencies to quickly strengthen government systems, expand AI-enabled cyber defense tools, improve access to security services for critical infrastructure, and create an AI cybersecurity clearinghouse to find and fix software vulnerabilities. The order also requires the government to build a classified process for identifying highly advanced “covered frontier models” and to set up a voluntary system for developers to work with the government before release, without creating any mandatory licensing or pre-approval regime. It was issued to promote U.S. AI innovation while protecting government systems, critical infrastructure, and American technology from cyber threats and criminal misuse.

President Donald J. Trump’s order directs federal health agencies to review and potentially revise the U.S. childhood and adolescent vaccine schedule using a recent HHS scientific assessment and updated clinical data.

It also requires federal agencies to align immunization-related regulations, funding, and coverage with the CDC-approved schedule, while ensuring vaccines on that schedule remain covered without cost-sharing through private insurance and major public health programs.
