Trump administration finalizes AI framework, official says
The order asks AI companies to share previews of powerful new models with the government before they are released to the public.
The Trump administration has officially completed the development of a voluntary framework for assessing new AI models, according to a White House official. This framework, which was part of an executive order President Trump signed in June, aims to bolster AI security and innovation without imposing excessive regulations. The official did not disclose the specifics of the framework.
The White House is set to host a meeting with industry partners on Tuesday to deliberate on the framework. The executive order stressed that the government does not wish to hinder innovation through excessively stringent regulations. It also proposed a process for identifying "frontier" AI models, or systems at the forefront of the field, and requested voluntary access to these models from companies for up to 30 days prior to their public release.
Concerns have arisen about the potential misuse of frontier models to uncover vulnerabilities in critical systems. Anthropic, a prominent AI lab, disclosed in April its intention to share its new model, Mythos, with select partners to aid in fortifying their defenses against cyberattacks.
