The White House's plan to vet potentially dangerous AI is cloaked in secrecy

The White House's plan to vet potentially dangerous AI is cloaked in secrecy After months of talking with tech industry leaders, the Trump administration finalized a framework this week for how it will test new artificial intelligence models for safety and cybersecurity risks. So far, the White House is keeping details of the framework private, in a blow to transparency and potential boon for secretive AI companies. On Tuesday, staff from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Nvidia and Microsoft attended a private meeting with White House officials to review the AI framework. Multiple outlets have since reported that although the volunteer vetting process for new AI models has been settled, the White House does not plan to release its policy publicly and will only share testing criteria with a select few tech companies. The Trump administration and tech industry's opaque process for how they will check if new AI models threaten global cybersecurity has left numerous questions about how the framework will operate.
