The White House will meet with representatives from several top AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta, to discuss a new framework for reviewing frontier AI models before they are released publicly.
Background
The meeting is a critical step toward broader AI regulation amid growing calls from both AI companies and Washington for more control over the pace of AI development. The framework was laid out as part of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in June.
The new system is meant to give the government access to the most advanced AI models up to 30 days before they are released publicly. The government has emphasized that participation from the industry is voluntary, although the administration has taken steps in recent months to prevent or delay the release of advanced AI models for safety reasons.
Industry Response
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that the company may need to pace the rate of AI development to give society enough time to harden around new capability levels. The European Union’s AI Act went into effect on August 2, which means the European Commission can demand to review AI models before they are released.
