President Trump's AI innovation & cybersecurity executive order is a constructive step toward addressing AI-related cyber risks while preserving US AI leadership.

But as @techpolicymaven notes, policymakers must keep strengthening cyber defenses & resilience as it's implemented.

False “Made in USA” claims are a real problem. President @realDonaldTrump's recent EO targets deceptive labeling—but its approach is flawed.

Shifting liability to online marketplaces misdirects enforcement & risks higher costs & fewer products for consumers...🧵
