White House to host AI companies Tuesday to review new model-testing framework

The White House is meeting with major AI companies to discuss a new voluntary framework for testing whether advanced AI models (large AI systems trained on massive datasets) have dangerous cybersecurity capabilities, such as finding software vulnerabilities or launching cyberattacks. Under this program, companies can give the government 30 days of access to their models before public release so federal agencies can evaluate potential risks. The framework remains mostly classified, and participation is voluntary, not mandatory.
