President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order on artificial intelligence, less than two weeks after postponing a White House ceremony over his concerns that a similar policy could dull America’s edge on AI technology. It was not immediately clear to what extent the order signed Tuesday differed from the one he declined to sign on May 21. The order establishes a framework for the federal government to vet the national security risks of the most advanced AI systems for up to a month before their public release. The government will be able to work with trusted partners “that will have early access to covered frontier models to promote secure innovation and strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure,” the order says.

President Donald Trump has called off a signing ceremony for a new order on artificial intelligence because he worried it could dull America’s edge on AI technology. Trump said he was postponing the Thursday signing because he didn’t like what he saw in the order’s text. He announced the change hours before the event was scheduled to take place in the Oval Office.

Voting rights groups are arguing that a federal judge should stop President Donald Trump's executive order restricting mail voting because he doesn’t have the authority to do so. Lawyers for the groups made their arguments Thursday during a hearing before a federal judge. They are seeking a temporary restraining order against Trump's executive order issued earlier this year. Trump directed the federal government to compile a list of eligible voters in every state and the Postal Service to refuse to deliver ballots for those not on it. Democrats and voting rights groups sued to block it. They argued the Constitution gives control of elections to states, not the president.

An appeals court has heard arguments in a case challenging President Donald Trump's ability to sanction some of the nation’s most prestigious law firms over their ties to clients and representatives whom he dislikes. A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit didn't indicate how or when it would rule after hearing arguments on Thursday by attorneys for the government and four firms targeted by the Republican administration. District court judges have consistently ruled that the White House cannot enforce Trump’s executive orders against the firms of Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, Susman Godfrey and WilmerHale.
