That order was reportedly delayed and watered down following pressure from the tech industry, with Trump himself saying he "didn't like certain aspects" of it.
Now, Open AI has said that it will comply with the order and allow regulators to assess its models' capabilities before they're released to the public. "It's quite right that democratic governments have a big role to play in how this technology is used and deployed," OpenAI's head of countries George Osborne told CNBC. "What we suggest to governments is they create powerful regulatory bodies, but with a lot of flexibility into how they will operate in the future."
