White House considers government reviews for AI models, NYT reports
The White House is considering introducing government oversight over new artificial intelligence models, according to a New York Times report citing officials briefed on the deliberations. The potential move is a reversal for President Donald Trump, who has previously advocated for a hands-off approach to AI regulation.
The US government is discussing an executive order to create an AI working group to examine potential oversight procedures. The group would bring together tech executives and government officials. A formal government review process for new AI models is being considered. The change may be prompted by concerns about Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos, which cybersecurity experts warn could be used for complex cyberattacks. In July, Trump released an AI blueprint aimed at loosening environmental rules and expanding AI exports to allies. Trump's potential move contradicts his previous stance, as well as his revocation of a 2023 executive order signed by Joe Biden that required developers of AI systems to share safety test results with the US government.
