The U.S. government has released a fact sheet introducing the President’s latest AI Executive Order, known as “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence.” This has sparked concerns among entrepreneurs in the crypto industry, who fear potential restrictions and tighter rules.

Expert Insights
Attorney Jeremy Hogan, a pro-XRP advocate, is puzzled by the executive order’s focus on Americans’ privacy. He points out that prior anti-crypto actions have encroached on this very right, labeling it a “significant contradiction.” He argues that the U.S. government’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies resembles the order’s intentions.
Attorney Jake Chervinsky also echoes these sentiments.
Under this new order, advanced AI system developers are now obliged to share their safety test results and vital data with the U.S. government.
Safety and Security Comes First!
The order mandates that companies creating foundational AI models with potential risks to national security, the economy, or public health must inform the federal government during their model training. They must also share the results of all safety tests. This process ensures that AI systems released to the public are reliable, safe, and secure.

The executive order aims to set guidelines and standards for recognizing AI-generated content and verifying official information. This is to shield Americans from trickery facilitated by artificial intelligence. The Department of Commerce will create guidelines for watermarking and content authentication to identify AI-created content. Federal agencies will use these technologies to help citizens confirm the authenticity of messages received from the government, setting a global example for governments and businesses.
Data Privacy Legislation – Step in the Right Direction
The AI Executive Order also urges Congress to pass data privacy legislation with bipartisan support to protect all Americans from AI-related threats. The primary goal of this legislation is to promote privacy-preserving research and technology, including cryptographic tools.
