White House Considers Vetting New AI Models
The plan would give the government early access to frontier models and could add a formal review process for national security risks.
- On Tuesday, Microsoft, Google, and xAI agreed to provide the United States government with early access to new artificial intelligence models for national security testing through the Commerce Department's Center for AI Standards and Innovation .
- The agreements expand on 2024 partnerships established during the Biden administration, renegotiated to align with President Donald Trump's "AI Action Plan," which aims to "remove red tape and onerous regulation" around AI development.
- CAISI has already completed more than 40 evaluations of cutting-edge models not yet public; Microsoft will work with government scientists to test AI systems "in ways that probe unexpected behaviors," the company said.
- By securing early access, officials aim to identify threats ranging from cyberattacks to military misuse before deployment. CAISI Director Chris Fall said these collaborations help "scale our work in the public interest at a critical moment."
- Notably absent from the new partnerships is Anthropic, which remains in a legal dispute with the Defense Department over the company's refusal to remove safety guardrails for government use of its models.
