History

Historical Context

In 1996 President Bill Clinton signed Executive Order 13026, moving commercial encryption to the Commerce Control List and creating a 30-day review overseen by the NSA-advised Commerce Department. That precedent informs the 2024 White House order, which obliges AI firms such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google to provide frontier models for a 30-day pre-release assessment.
