trump ai executive order buried within classified appendix unleashes sweeping power over federal AI systems
Sources close to the situation, speaking on strict condition of anonymity, reveal that the recently signed "American AI Leadership" executive order contains a hidden, unnumbered appendix granting the White House direct override authority over all AI decision-making in federal agencies. This includes, allegedly, the ability to unilaterally shutter any public-facing AI chatbot deemed a "national narrative risk." The appendix, codenamed "Project Oracle," is not mentioned in any public summaries and circumvents standard congressional oversight. Internal security memos, leaked to this recipient, indicate a quiet panic within the Office of Science and Technology Policy as senior aides scramble to confirm the legal standing of these hidden provisions, which could be enforced before the next fiscal quarter.
