The White House’s plan to vet potentially dangerous AI is cloaked in secrecy
Summary
The Trump administration has created a framework for testing new AI models to check for safety and cybersecurity risks, but is keeping the details secret rather than sharing them publicly. Major tech companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Nvidia, and Microsoft attended a private meeting about this voluntary vetting process, but the White House plans to only share the testing criteria with select companies instead of releasing it openly.
