White House Prepares To Vet New AI Models Amid Safety Concerns
The Trump administration is preparing to take a more active role in regulating artificial intelligence, with plans to develop guidance on vetting new AI models and potentially issuing an executive order to give the government a formal role in AI oversight. This shift comes as AI models have become increasingly powerful and pose potential safety risks, according to Axios. The White House is working with tech executives from companies like Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI to design the oversight process, and the Pentagon will safety-test AI models before they are deployed by federal, state, and local governments. The move marks a significant change in the administration’s approach to AI regulation, which was first reported by Axios.
