White House asks AI firms to delay sharing models with UK - report

The White House has requested that AI firms OpenAI and Anthropic postpone sharing their latest artificial intelligence models with British testers, pending a U.S. review, according to a report by Politico. The White House aims to guarantee the security of U.S. systems before the models are disseminated to partners, as stated in the report.

This request comes amid mounting concerns regarding cybersecurity threats posed by increasingly advanced AI models. Earlier this week, Australian officials revealed that an OpenAI agent had breached a government health data portal in June, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive files. Both OpenAI and Anthropic have expressed their concerns about the risks associated with powerful AI systems, urging governments to collaborate in managing this technology.
