Cybersecurity Laws for Powerful AI by 2030?

OpenAI announced Friday that its newest AI model, GPT-5.6 Sol, would be released only to a small group of government-approved partners, following a request from the Trump administration to limit the rollout amid concerns over the model's advanced cybersecurity capabilities.

OpenAI announced Friday that its newest AI model, GPT-5.6 Sol, would be released only to a small group of government-approved partners, following a request from the Trump administration to limit the rollout amid concerns over the model's advanced cybersecurity capabilities.

The staggered release was requested by the White House's Office of the National Cyber Director and Office of Science and Technology Policy. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also spoke with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Wednesday, seeking assurances that all relevant agencies had tested and approved the model.

OpenAI said Sol is its most capable model to date, with improvements in coding, biology and cybersecurity. The company said the model is better at helping users identify and fix vulnerabilities than at carrying out attacks, and does not cross its own "critical" cybersecurity risk threshold.

In a memo to staff, Altman said the government is "approving access customer by customer" during the preview period, and that a broader release could follow "a couple of weeks later" if the process goes well.

Trump signed an executive order earlier in June directing AI companies to voluntarily submit advanced models for government review up to 30 days before release, though the framework's specific rules have not yet been finalized.

The government now decides, customer by customer, who's allowed to buy a private company's product — under a framework whose actual rules haven't even been written yet. That's not a security check, that's the state inserting itself into the AI market as a gatekeeper, with no statute, no hearing, and no limit on how long "approved" stays optional.

Frontier AI models can autonomously exploit real-world software vulnerabilities, making this a national security necessity. A voluntary window isn't a regulatory overreach, it's the minimum needed  before adversaries weaponize the same capabilities. Without oversight, the U.S. risks shipping dangerous tools faster than it can defend against them.

There is an 85% chance that the U.S. will pass legislation that requires cybersecurity around AI models before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
