The White House is considering introducing formal vetting of artificial intelligence models before they are released.
The New York Times, at the same time, reminds us that Donald Trump’s administration previously declared «non-interference in artificial intelligence», but now plans to implement the opposite approach.
The publication writes that the Trump administration’s policy changeis dictated by the high-profile story with Anthropic’s Mythos AI model .
Trump is now considering introducing government oversight of new AI models, according to US officials and sources familiar with the discussions.
According to US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the administration is currently discussing an order to create a special working group on artificial intelligence, which would bring together technology company executives and government officials to study potential oversight procedures.
Potential plans include a formal process for the government to review new AI models.
In meetings last week, White House officials told executives from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI about some of these plans.
While talks between the White House and tech companies continue, some executives argue that excessive government oversight will slow U.S. innovation compared to China, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
At the same time, the White House has so far stated that discussion of any potential executive order on this topic is «speculation,» and that Trump himself will make a political statement on the matter.
As dev.ua wrote, Anthropic sued the Pentagon over a conflict over the use of AI.
At the same time, it is known that the US military is using AI tools to accelerate operations against Iran.

This is such an interesting take, @Escape Road! I'm curious—how do you think the trust factor will affect public perception of AI if Trump tests these models first? Do you think it could create more skepticism rather than confidence?
