Trump admin moves further into AI oversight, will test Google, Microsoft and xAI models
Summary
The U.S. government is increasing oversight of AI models through the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI, a government agency within the Department of Commerce), which has signed agreements to evaluate AI models from Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI before they are released publicly. The White House is also considering creating a new working group to develop procedures for vetting AI models before public release, which might be established through an executive order (a direct presidential directive).
