Details
The White House is considering an executive order that would mandate government review before new AI model releases.
The plan has already been briefed to officials at Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, and a UK-style multi-agency evaluation framework has also been mentioned as a reference. The White House has stressed that this has not yet reached the stage of an official announcement.
The trigger for this shift in direction is Anthropic's 'Mythos' model.
- Anthropic held back the release of Mythos citing cybersecurity risks.
- The NSA is already using Mythos to check government software vulnerabilities.
- Some officials want a system where the government reviews new models first, without blocking their release.
The Trump administration has been easing the safety evaluation requirements from the Biden era, but this discussion marks a move to reverse that stance. In a Pew survey, 50% of Republicans and 51% of Democrats said they are more concerned about AI proliferation. After AI czar David Sacks stepped down, Susie Wiles and Scott Bessent have been expanding their control over policy.
