US to safety test new AI models from Google, Microsoft, xAI
The US Department of Commerce will test new AI models from Google, Microsoft, and xAI before they are released to the public. The evaluations will cover testing, collaborative research, and best practice development related to commercial AI systems.
The US Department of Commerce will now test new AI tools and capabilities from Google, Microsoft, and xAI before their public release. The tech firms have agreed to voluntarily submit their models for testing through Commerce's Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI). The evaluations will cover testing, collaborative research, and best practice development related to commercial AI systems. CAISI has conducted 40 previous evaluations of AI tools, including certain state-of-the-art models that remain unreleased. Google's Gemini, Microsoft's CoPilot, and xAI's Grok are among the AI tools to be tested. The US is expanding its oversight of AI development, marking a shift from the Trump administration's largely hands-off approach.
